III. Background

This section should be about 2-3 paragraphs in length and provide the reader with an explanation of the problem that has created the need for the program that will be funded by the requested grant.

Provide local and national research and data that supports the need for the project. It is important that the reader who finishes this section know why your program should be funded over others.

IV. Project Description (Program Narrative)

The project description (2-3 paragraphs or can be organized by a list of goals) should give the reader a detailed description of the program that will be funded by the requested grant. This description should explain the duration of time during which the funds will support the project, the goals of the project, how they will be achieved, how success or failure will be measured, what services you promise to deliver to what population and what results you expect to bring about. A useful structure is to break the project down into component goals. Use each goal as its own heading and under each goal heading, list and describe the activities that will be funded to achieve that goal and how achievement of that goal will be measured or defined. The Project Description may also include information about the staff who will work on the project, their experience and qualifications to perform the activities that will be funded.
