Suggested Timeline for Submitting Private Grant Proposals
CFR suggests that you plan your timeline by working backwards from the submission due date. Below are a series of steps that can help you in your grant-seeking efforts. 1. Three to six months before deadline • Carefully read through the RFP; contact CFR for help with interpreting guidelines and starting the submission process • Draft a one-page summary (no more than 500 words), and submit the Grant Proposal Request Form to CFR. 2. Two months before deadline • Draft the proposal, budget and timeline for your project, and share these with CFR • If required, contact colleagues for letters of support or commitment 3. One month before deadline • Share proposal draft and budget with CFR and colleagues for edits and feedback 4. Three weeks before deadline • Incorporate edits and feedback into proposal draft and budget • Coordinate with CFR for a successful submission • NOTE: It is important that this is done in ample time for CFR to coordinate signatures and submission with the JMU Foundation.
