ASSIGNMENT DESCRIPTION
The grant proposal project is an exercise to engage in how to prepare, evaluate and
support a grant proposal. As Aristotle promised, we learn about good by doing good!
It is a minimum of 5 pages of copy, double spaced with 1inch margins on all sides.
The 5 page minimum does not include the Title page, graphs, or reference list.
You have been charged with the important task of applying for a grant for a fictious nonprofit Organization of your creation.
The Organization is currently funded by federal and state funds, which unfortunately are
slated to be cut in the next fiscal year, (the First Gentleman changed his nonprofit
priorities, and the Commonwealth has cut funding at the discretionary level).
It is up to you to identify a private foundation(s) to fund your Organization.
You are also responsible for creating an abbreviated application, and proposal to meet
the needs of your nonprofit organization.
Your application is to fund operational expenses (rent, utilities, payroll for Staff, and
Programming etc.) so the doors remain open for the next fiscal year.
Your Grant Application is up to $100,000.
Your nonprofit grant application must include;
Organization Name, Address, Contact Information, and Constituents to be served.
In addition the application should include the:

Closing statement
Please discuss, why your Organization is worthy of receiving funds. Is it grassroots?
Innovative? Are you collaborating with another Nonprofit and external partners ?
Filling a societal unmet need? If possible, note outcomes associated with past funding.
Your writing is to be professional, clear, address only what is requested
There is a limit of five pages (double spaced) for the proposal, including budget and
budget narrative (but not including title page + reference list or graphs, etc). That’s not a
lot of room, given the scope of the assignment, so use it wisely – however, it’s as much
(or more) than most funders would be willing to read first-round. Use everything you
know about business writing, marketing, and effective communication to make it
compelling.
