Guide for Writing a Funding Proposal

6. Needed Resources

a. Personnel
* Refer back to your Staff/Administration section and identify those people by name who will actually be paid from the grant - these are the ones to be identified in this section

* Include short descriptions of each of the people who will be involved in your project and supported by the funding. The descriptions should clarify in the mind of the potential funding agency that these people are ideally suited to conduct the project.

* Instead of having all full-time staff on the project, consider having a number of parttime staff - especially if the part-time staff currently work with other cooperating organizations. This is a good way to show inter-agency collaboration.

* Make sure you notify people who you identify in your Personnel section and receive their approval before you send in your proposal.

b. Facilities
* Though you may not be requesting funds for the purchase or rental of facilities, it can be helpful to provide a brief description of the facilities that will be used for the project.

* Consider describing existing facilities that will be used for the project as in-kind contributions to the project. Even if you have free access to classrooms at a local school,
meeting space at a shopping mall or a project room in a local office building, it can be helpful to indicate how much additional money the prospective funding agency would
have to provide if these facilities were not donated.
