I would be happy to help with grant proposal writing for a local non-profit. Here are the following steps to start the process:

1. Identify potential funding sources:

The first step in writing a successful grant proposal is identifying potential funding sources which align with your non-profit's mission and objectives. I will research and compile a list of potential funders including private foundations, corporate foundations, government grants and other sources.

2. Review grant requirements:

Once I will identified potential funding sources, I will review their grant requirements and guidelines to understand their priorities and expectations. I will pay particular attention to deadlines, eligibility requirements and how the grant application would be submitted.

3. Develop a proposal outline:

I will create an outline for the grant proposal based on the funding requirements identified during the research. This proposal will typically include an executive summary, problem statement, objectives, methods, expected outcomes or impact, budget and evaluation plan.

4. Prepare the proposal narrative:

I will develop the narrative for this proposal ensuring that I address all of the questions and requirements outlined in the grant guidelines. I will keep the language clear and concise highlighting the non-profit's goals and achievements.

5. Complete the budget:

Once I have the narrative in place, I will develop a budget which outlines the costs associated with the proposed project. I will ensure that the budget aligns with the proposal narrative and the requirements outlined by the funding source.

6. Submit the proposal:

Finally, I will submit the proposal to the identified funding sources, ensuring that I meet all requirements and deadlines.
