Grant Writing Tips - a web site with answers to many questions about writing grant proposals.
What is a Grant?
Grants are funds given to tax-exempt nonprofit organizations or local governments (including Police
Departments) by foundations, corporations, governments, small business and individuals. Most grants are made
to fund a specific project and require some level of reporting. The process involves an applicant submitting a
proposal to a potential funder, either on the applicant's own initiative or in response to a Request for Proposals
from the funder.
