Instructions for the Preparation of the Grant Application 1. Introduce us concisely to your organization. For example, an organization serving a population in wheelchairs does not need a new van. Seventeen clients who travel in wheelchairs need a van to enable them to meet their needs. They are quantifiable and time-specific changes that occur with the population served by the organization.
Methods are the steps necessary to accomplish the objective.
For example, to accomplish the objective, the organization may have to purchase a van. A timeline indicates the activities undertaken at specified times to meet the objectives. In the example of the van, you may wish to keep a log of the number of trips and the number of individuals transported. The Foundation encourages grantseekers to seek partial funding from other sources in the community as well as from the Community Foundation. If equipment is budgeted, please include an estimate of the cost from a vendor.
