Section 3 – [1 – 2 pages]
Project Personnel Narrative
This section will include an explanation/justification of the proposed project personnel. The explanation/justification should specify how many persons, at what percentage of time and in what categories will be participating in the project and the lines of responsibility.
• Refer back to your project activities – Section 2 and identify those people who will actually be paid from the grant. These are the ones to be identified in this section.
o Include short descriptions of each of the people who will be involved in your project and supported by the funding. The descriptions should clarify in the mind of the potential funding agency that these people are ideally suited to conduct the project.
o Instead of having all full-time staff on the project, consider having a number of part-time.
• Any student participation, paid or unpaid, should be mentioned, and the nature of the proposed contribution detailed. If any persons must be hired for the project, say so, and explain why, unless the need for persons not already available within the organization is self-evident.
Section 4 – [3 ½ pages]
Budget, Continuation (Sustainability) Funding
This section provides the detailed budget with the requested funds for the project expenses. Information required Sponsors customarily specify how budgets should be presented and what costs are allowable.
• Make your budget realistic. Carefully think through exactly what you will need from the funding agency to carry out the project and establish your budget around this amount. (Do not forget, funding agencies receive lots of requests for funding. They can easily tell when someone has inflated a budget in order to procure funds for other purposes. Don’t get caught in this situation.)
• Budgets are often formatted in tables and figures, each amount should be clearly labeled directly followed by the budget with be a justification statement explaining why each cost, material, and equipment is valid, reasonable, and important for your project.
• The budget also specifies items paid for by other funding sources, including an explanation for requested expenses.
• Indicate how the project will be funded or be sustainable after the grant funds have run out
• Facilities a) Though you may not be requesting funds for the purchase or rental of facilities, it can be helpful to provide a brief description of the facilities that will be used for the project. b) Consider describing existing facilities that will be used for the project as in-kind contributions to the project. Even if you have free access to classrooms at a local school, meeting or a project room in a local office building, it can be helpful to indicate how much additional money the prospective funding agency would have to provide if these facilities were not donated.
• Equipment/Supplies
o Be careful in listing the equipment that will be needed for your project. Funding sources are usually much more willing to provide funds for the support of personnel than they are to support the purchase of equipment (that may or may not directly benefit the funded project).
o It will help if you have really done some research on the actual cost of the equipment you specify. This is
o much better than guessing at the cost and then to be challenged on your estimates by the potential funding agency.
o It is easy to overlook many of the office supplies or consumables that will be needed for your project.
