III. TARGET SOURCES FOR FUTURE FUNDING

In general, foundations usually do not fund projects 100% nor will they make long- term commitments for proposed projects. They want to know the other sources of funding a company/organization will have upon the conclusion of their grant. In this section, it is a must to list down your other source of funds as well as the amount of funds acquired from each. All grant making agencies want to see that projects will continue even without their support.

IV. BUDGET PROPOSAL

This section has the detailed budget proposal for a project. The budget proposal usually separates the administrative from operational costs. Grant making agencies have very different formats for the budget proposal. Some provide their own budget forms while others require specific formats. In the budget proposal, you must include all projected expenses (excluding miscellaneous costs) for the proposed project.

V. STRENGTH OF THE PROJECT AND ORGANIZATION

This section must establish the credibility of the company/organization and the strength of the proposed project. It should mention the number of board members and key personnel complete with their qualifications and achievements. The involvement of the members of the board in the project shall also be included in this section. Cite the nature of the project, its purpose, how it came about and the benefits it will have to the community.
