How to Get Ready 

While you are waiting for the request for proposals (RFP) to post, there are several steps your organization can take to prepare to write this grant. 

1. Review the 2020 RFP and determine if you are eligible as a grantee and how your services or the services you are planning to propose to align with the grant requirements. This RFP is different than the one that will post for 2025, but we are expecting a similar project. 

2. Conduct background research to determine the types of projects that were awarded in past grants and make pre-planning decisions about your own project. 

3. Determine a grant writing strategy. Will you write your grant in-house, or will you contract out the services? What are the costs/benefits of each strategy? Then, based on your strategy, create a detailed timeline for how you will proceed. If you want to work with us, please reach out!
