Grant Proposal: Part I
Many essential components are part of a grant proposal. Each component provides funders with information about your organization, community needs, and the program(s) that you are proposing to get funded that will address the social problems and issues impacting different communities and populations.
Generally, nonprofit human services organizations submit grant proposals in response to either a request for proposals (RFP) or a request for applications (RFA) issued by a foundation, corporate, or government entity. Throughout the course, your assignments will respond to the RFP criteria of THE Foundation, which states its funding priorities and the types of nonprofit organizations it funds.
