proposal – use accurate/current data explaining why the funder should care, how your approach is different, & can make an impact

Demonstrate how your proposal meets the needs of the target population rather than yours otherwise you might set yourself up for failure

Describe the existing gap – e.g. knowledge, resource, or service – what is ought to be, and how funding can improve the proposed solution

Identify collaboration opportunities – built on shared values, missions, and resources
