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
