Locate the organization’s Request for Proposals (RFP); the RFP is the grant application. Some organizations may use different titles, so keep in mind that you are looking for the application required. Download and review the document. Follow the instructions presented therein, and draft a grant proposal per those instructions.Some RFPs (or applications) may be templates where you, literally, fill in the blanks and respond to prompts. Others may simply present guidelines, and you draft an application "from scratch." Some may require you to upload, email, or snail mail a document; others may require that you complete an online form. If an online form is required, complete the form then create a PDF of the entire form to submit, or recreate the form in Microsoft Word then submit that recreated document.
