Suggested Steps for Using the Common Grant Application:
Step 1: Identify Potential Funders
Review the directory of Foundation Roundtable members. Contact individual foundations to confirm deadlines and additional requirements or procedures. Click here to download the 2009 Foundation Roundtable Directory.
Step 2: Define Your Goals
What are your funding goals? How are you going to get there? What kind of important work is your organization doing?
Step 3: Download the Common Grant Application and Financial Sheets
Step 4: Complete CGA Application
Type your request directly into form and save – complete all three financial sections. Save a "boiler plate" proposal to be used later as you customize your proposals for various funders.
Step 5: Customize Your Applications
