What is a Grant Application?
Grant applications are the primary way nonprofits access external funding from foundations, corporations, and government agencies. A well-organized application form ensures you collect all required information and present your organization in the best light.
This template follows best practices from leading grant makers: clear project description, specific funding needs, realistic outcomes, and organizational context. It helps both grantors evaluate proposals efficiently and nonprofits demonstrate competence.
By using a structured application form, you reduce back-and-forth communications, speed up the review process, and ensure all applicants provide comparable information for fair evaluation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What information do grant makers need?
Funders need: who you are, what problem you're solving, how you'll solve it, who benefits, how much it costs, and how you'll measure success. This template covers all essentials.
How long should project descriptions be?
Aim for 250-500 words that clearly explain the problem, your solution, and expected impact. Be specific and measurable rather than vague.
Should I require organizational financials?
Many funders require recent 990 forms, audited financials, or budget statements. Add a file upload field to collect these documents with your application.
How many pages should a full grant application be?
Most funders specify lengths (5-10 pages typical). Use this form to collect structured data, then export to a PDF or Word template formatted for specific grant requirements.
Can I customize this for specific funders?
Absolutely. Tailor fields based on funder priorities. Some focus on innovation, others on capacity building. Adapt the form to emphasize what each funder values.
