Philanthropy of Community: Tools for Transforming GivingNCGives
This presentation was used at the Philanthropy of Community Conference in Wilmington in November 2009.
The Philanthropy of Community (PoC) Program builds on the understanding and practices of informal and formal giving and investments that exist in communities. The PoC Program provides research, tools and education and training on how to document, analyze and expand the giving of time, talent and treasure within and among organizations, communities, individuals and families.
By recognizing, nurturing and developing existing giving and giving patterns in community, acts of community giving grow in multiple dimensions, including the giving of financial assets.
The Philanthropy of Community Program is a partnership between NCGives and the Center for Community Action. (www.ncgives.org/poc)
On January 13th, Vermont Community Foundation held a Grantseekers Forum at the Vermont Law School in South Royalton. While there are no major changes to VCF’s grant programs, the forum provided a refresher and offered nonprofits the opportunity to ask questions about grant criteria and the application process.

CHAPTER NINE Sample Proposals
This chapter presents seven actual proposals that successfully won federal, state, and foundation grants. The first proposal was submitted by the Midwest Music Fest to the Winona Fine Arts Commission in Minnesota. The second was submitted by the Winona Dakota Unity Alliance to the Elizabeth Callender King Foundation in Minnesota. The third was submitted by the Gundersen Lutheran Medical Foundation to the Will Rogers Institute-Variety Children’s Charity of Wisconsin. The fourth proposal was submitted by the Winter Park Day Nursery to the Winter Park Health Foundation in Florida. The fifth proposal was submitted by the Mentor Parent Program in Pennsylvania to the U.S. Department of Education. The sixth was submitted by the La Crosse Medical Health Sciences Consortium to the Strategic Prevention Framework State Incentive Grant Program in Wisconsin. The seventh proposal was submitted to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Assistance to Firefighters Grant Program by Lancaster Emergency Medical Services Association in Pennsylvania.
You will note that the last three grants, all submitted to either a federal department, federal agency, or state program, tend to have longer narratives and are more complex than the other four grants. The Winona Fine Arts Commission application is relatively short and took far less time to write than the others.
These seven examples were chosen to illustrate the vast differences between the formats of proposals and funder specifications. They are concrete, real examples of proposals that combine the art of proposal writing with the technical aspects of what the funders were looking for.
These proposals are not perfect—they never are! However, the reviewers felt that each applicant responded clearly to the RFP or guidelines and presented a project they felt was worthy of being funded.
