Grants are typically awarded to a nonprofit organization for a
distinct program or purpose. A grantmaker generally focuses its
giving on:
A specific population (such as children or organizations in
Maryland)
Certain types of nonprofits (such as churches or environmental
groups)
Particular types of support (such as seed money or funding for
equipment).

Start with an end in mind!
It is best to have a project in mind before going out to look for
a grant.
Have some basic questions answered:Who is affected by this
project?What are the goals and objectives of the project?Where
is the project going to take place?When is the project going to

6. be completed?How much is it going to cost to achieve these
goals and complete the project?
Many grant applications have a short turn away time from the
funding announcement until the time the application is due.
Be a good scout and BE PREPARED!

Where Can I Find Grant Opportunities!
All discretionary grants offered by the 26 federal grant-making
agencies can be found on Grants.gov.
You do not have to register with Grants.gov to find grant
opportunities. However, once you are ready to apply for a grant,
you will need to Get Registered. This process takes 3-5 business
days up to 4 weeks if you experience any difficulties.
Foundations
http://foundationcenter.org/
Many resources are available by simply goggling Grants.
Besides the Grants.gov website, which provides access to all
federal funded opportunities there are a number of grants
available through foundations.

I Found A Grant Opportunity.

7. Now What?
FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS
Much like writing a research paper in APA format, you need to
follow the directions or the Grant Application Guide when
completing a grant application.
BE PREPARED TO WRITE A BUDGET
The funder is going to what to know how much money you want
and how you are going to spend it.Direct charges –“those costs
that can be identified specifically with a particular sponsored
project, an instructional activity or any other institutional
activity, or that can be directly assigned to activities relatively
easily with a high degree of accuracy.” (OMB Circular A-21,
Section D.1.) ex: Salaries, wages, and fringe benefits ,
Materials and supplies such as chemicals, glassware, Compress,
travel, consulting services, equipment, toll charges, mailIndirect
charges - “those [costs] that are incurred for common or joint
objectives and therefore cannot be identified readily and
specifically with a particular sponsored project, an instructional
activity, or any other institutional activity.” (OMB Circular A-
21, Section E.1) ex: Services of the accounting staff and
research, administrators; Cost of utilities for a building , Office
supplies, postage, local telephone and communications
infrastructure, depreciation on building,
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is a Cabinet-
level office, and is the largest office within the Executive
Office of the President of the United States (EOP).

Apply before Applying
Sometimes the funder might ask you to file a Letter of Intent

8. (LOI)
The purpose of a letter of intent is to simply inform a funder of
your organization’s intention to submit a formal proposal for
consideration.
Letters of intent must be on letterhead, signed, and include:
1. Letter date
2. Organization’s legal name
3. Full address – including mailing address if different
4. Telephone number
5. Email address
6. Website
7. Contact person’s name, title, telephone number, and email
address
8. Nonprofit FEIN number or tax exempt number
9. Name of grant program or project for which you will be
applying
10. And always… any additional information that your
potential funder is requesting, such as your organization’s
mission statement, collaborative efforts, etc.
Remember – this is a very “no frills” document; you are simply
stating that you intend to submit a proposal and are providing
pertinent organizational/contact info.
See sample of Request for Letters of Intent – HIE White Space
Grant Program from the State of Illinois.
