    Basic Grant-Writing Steps

    - In one sentence describe the project idea. (The who, what, when and where of the project)

    - What broad categories of needs does the project address?

    - What specific changes, outcomes or resolutions will the project produce?

    - What are the major steps towards implementing and completing the project?

    - What resources, including people, equipment, materials, training, supplies and services are
    needed to implement and complete the project?

    - Who else has a vested interest in partnering with you on this project?

    - Has a project of this type been implemented elsewhere? Where and what were the results?

    -What measurements will you use to determine whether or not the project succeeded?

    - What is the total cost of the project?

    - How will the project be sustained after grant funding ends?
