This assignment is a Grant Proposal, in the syllabus it says this assignment “must meet ALL of the major requirements of an RFP (request for proposals). Students do NOT have to include “boilerplate” materials that are required as part of a grant proposal (EINs, background financial information, etc.). Students will complete a formal grant application from a funding agency applying all of the funding agency’s required criteria. Students will complete the grant application for the nonprofit agency and program or initiative for which they authored the letter of inquiry. Thus, students must familiarize themselves with the programmatic needs and operations of the chosen nonprofit agency to complete the application. In addition, students must research the application criteria for the selected funding agency.” The professor also states “I am not expecting you all to write 25 page grants. That’s usually reserved for large federal government grants. Your grade is not dependent on number of pages. Rather, you have to have a clearly articulated idea, program components (what you are doing that merits funding), a budget, a budget narrative, and metrics (how do you measure program success?).”
Here is the link to the Program I selected for the grant:
I have attached my letter of inquiry and needs assessment to assist you. In addition, I have also included the common grant application, as the professor uploaded this as a resource for us.
