Roles and Responsibilities



Proposal writing is something that requires planning, forethought and

research before you actually sit down to write a proposal. After all,you don’t want to spend all that time writing a proposal only to find

out that something is wrong with it and you don’t have time to rewrite

it before the deadline.

What is the maximum amount of funding you provide? – Visit your

funder’s website or give them a phone call and find out how muchmoney they normally grant.

What types of programs or work do you fund? – Every foundation

or funding body has their areas of interest. As a grant writer it is

your job to find out what that is. It will help you to mold your

proposal to the type of work they support. When is the deadline for submission of proposals? – This is

crucial, especially if it is your first time applying for a grant with this

funder.

Making the Ask: Proposals



How many proposal submission deadlines do you have per year?

– In case you can’t make this deadline, there may be another a

few months later that might be an easier deadline for you to meet.

What do you think of my idea? – Don’t be afraid to ask a funder

what they think. They are always more than willing to provide youwith feedback. They will tell you if your idea won’t work for them.

This is important to know before you put all the time and effort into

writing a proposal.

Is there a particular format that you like submission proposals to

follow? –

Often funders have a template or guide as to how theywant your proposal submitted. But there are still some out there

that don’t have a template, so be prepared for that too, even

though it is rare.
