Imagine that you receive an invitation to a friend\u2019s birthday party. It\u2019s been so long that you\u2019ve been to a party that you excitedly toss the invitation on the counter and rush to get ready. You put on some nice clothes and buy a fine bottle of wine as a gift. You stroll up to your friend\u2019s house and eagerly knock on the door. But when the door opens, a flood of toddlers with balloons pushes out. Your friend is standing in the doorway, looking at you strangely. The invitation was for his five-year-old\u2019s birthday. And you\u2019re holding a bottle of wine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Such is the predicament grant seekers might find themselves in if they don\u2019t carefully read an RFP. At GrantWriterTeam.com<\/a>, we’ll help grant seekers with this issue and others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n An RFP, or Request for Proposal, is a tool that a funding source uses to attract proposals that align with their interests. It is an invitation that outlines precisely what they are seeking from a proposal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n For a grant seeker, an RFP will inform them of the funder\u2019s interests, allowing them to tailor their Letter of Intent (LOI)<\/a> or full grant application to generate interest in their proposed program or activity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n An RFP will also list more general information such as deadline dates, terms of contract, and the estimated size of the grant. But most importantly for a grant seeker, an RFP lists eligibility requirements. Without careful reading of an RFP, grant seekers may waste their time creating a proposal for a grant that they don\u2019t even qualify for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On GrantWatch<\/a>, RFPs can be searched by general recipients and GrantWatch subscribers<\/a> can review a synopsis of the eligibility requirements and read more in depth through the URL provided to the RFP. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Imagine that you receive an invitation to a friend\u2019s birthday party.
