Grant Writing: Step Five, Additional materials

Once you have your idea, the proposal, and the budget, it is time for a few details.  Some agencies or foundations require a list of objectives or goals.  Others request sample lesson plans.  Every grant proposal is different.  One item many foundations require from schools is either the IRS Tax ID form or the 501(c)3 Letter of Determination (LOD).  Obtain a copy from your administration, make copies, and scan the form into a computer file which can be attached to an electronic submission.  Another item frequently requested is a list of the Board of Directors.  Type the list and save it electronically, too. Update a copy of your CV or resume.  Save this to a grant folder with all of these files on your computer.  Take time to write a lesson plan consistent with the requirements in your locality.  Be sure to add 21st Century objectives and ties to Common Core or Next Generation Science Standards.  It will save time in the future to have these documents available to submit with each grant proposal.
