(Note: In this case, the grant program allows up to $400,000 in requests. Giving a range provides you flexibility during drafting. However, if the guidelines require a specific amount, provide this number instead.) The funds will be used to cite at least one eligible activity and serve approximately # and type of people.

Please find:

1. List any items requested, i.e., a 501 c3, audit, etc. (If nothing, skip)

3.

Use your official statement of introduction, that is, one well-written paragraph of about 50 words long that identifies your mission, an overview of your services, and, if possible, a recent award. (Note: Listing an award or other public recognition provides proof of your worthiness to apply.) Include an introductory paragraph to establish your nonprofit organization’s credibility.
