Grantors typically require documentation to be attached with a grant application. Although, sometimes they may just require a copy of the 501(c)3 tax exempt designation; more often than not, a grantor will request attachments of the following documents: MISSION STATEMENT A Mission Statement should be concise (1-3 sentences is best) and convey a description of the organization, its' purpose and goals. VISION STATEMENT A Vision Statement should be concise (1-3 sentences is best) and define the reason/need for the organization, hope for the future and outcome goals. NON-DISCRIMINATORY POLICY A written statement defining areas of non-discrimination. (Legal advice is recommended for specific wording) BOARD MEMBER LISTING A Board Member listing should include:
OPERATING BUDGET An operating budget should include the overall expenses and sources of revenue for the organization. (An organization budget is not the same as the project/program budget)
PROJECT BUDGET
SWOT ANALYSIS
LAST AUDIT AND TAX FILING
STAFF/VOLUNTEER QUALIFICATION LISTING A grant application may also ask that a listing of staff/volunteer qualifications be attached for verification that the organization has the experience, expertise, background and number of people to implement the project/program for which funding is being requested.
All forms may not be required for every grant application; however, it is a good idea to have them ready.
Again, ALWAYS read and re-read the Guidelines!
