Week 5 Assignment
Instructions
Grant Proposal
This week you will complete your modified common grant proposal. The proposal will include the following sections:
A cover letter to introduce the nonprofit and grant program to the funder
A summary of the grant project
An appeal section that details how the program relates to the funder’s priorities
A needs statement including data to support the community problem exists
A one sentence goal statement
Two objectives each with the required elements
A project narrative that provides the details about the program
An annual budget with budget justification and a cash flow budget
A closing section
A list of appendices
In week 3, you completed, the need statement, goal statement, two objectives, project narrative, and annual budget with budget justification. You also completed a cash flow budget but that budget does not have to be included in this assignment. You should revise the week 3 information based on your instructor’s feedback.
This week, you will complete the remaining sections:
A cover letter to introduce the nonprofit and grant program to the funder
A summary of the grant project
An appeal section that details how the program relates to the funder’s priorities
A closing section
A list of appendices
Reference the grant’s RFP or instructions for information about whom to address the cover letter.
Use headings to clearly identify each section of the grant proposal.
The appeal section should provide information about how the grant program matches the funder’s interests or aligns with their funding priorities.
The closing should provide a brief recap of the project, thank the funder for their consideration of the proposal, repeat the contact information for a nonprofit representative, and include a signature section for a nonprofit representative.
Only a list of appropriate appendices needs to be included in the assignment not the actual appendices. The list should include the information a funder might want to review in addition to the information included in the proposal to make a decision about funding the grant program.
Combine the information revised based on feedback from week 3 with the new information written in week 5 to complete your grant proposal.
**** Please make sure there is a list of Appendices on there. Thank you so much.
