Step 2:
Full Proposal
Organizations
whose preliminary proposals are approved for full proposal consideration
will receive notification and application instructions. If you submit
your preliminary proposal online and are selected for full proposal
review, we request that you also complete this process online. Materials
required in the full proposal include an 8-page narrative addressing
provided questions, proposal abstract, detailed budget information
and supplemental documents such as the IRS 990 form, strategic plan,
and financial statements. The Trust will then schedule a meeting
or site visit.
Please
note: The invitation to submit a full proposal does not guarantee
selection as a grantee.
