Steps to Writing a Grant Proposal
There are several steps that PEACE Domestic Violence Agency needs to follow when writing a grant proposal. It is best to follow each step in the sections requested. Before going through each section, make sure there is grants and funding available that will apply to PEACE Domestic Violence Agency’s type of program. This can be done through the issuing for a Request for Proposal (RFP) or Request for Applications (RFA) (Yuen & Terao, 2003). The RFA (Request for Applications) includes all the information needed for the proposal application. The RFA (Request for Applications) will include detailed information like important dates and due dates. It also highlights the focus of the funding, eligibility requirements, and what types of program it is looking to fund (Yuen & Terao, 2003).
After PEACE Domestic Violence Agency finds a grant application, the next step is to begin writing a grant proposal. This proposal will be a written presentation of PEACE Domestic Violence Agency’s program plan. This plan will detail how PEACE Domestic Violence Agency will approach the identified needs and problem with PEACES’s proposed course of actions associated with domestic violence. A correct grant proposal should include eleven sections, which are of great importance to grantor when requesting funding for a program. The sections that should be included in a grant proposal are as follows:
Abstract
Table of contents
Specific aims/background and significance/needs and problem statement
Target population
Approaches and methods
Long- and short-term goals
Process, outcome, and impact objectives
Activity plans and scheduling (timeline)
Evaluation plan
Agency capacity and project management
Budget and budget justifications
(Community support)
(References and Appendices)
