Common Grant Application (Print Format)
Common Grant Application (print format)

In an effort to streamline the grants review process, and to lessen the burden of paperwork on grantseekers, Donors Forum of Wisconsin developed the Common Grant Application form, which is being used or accepted by about 50 Donors Forum of Wisconsin members.

Why should I use it?

First, over 50 grantmakers in Wisconsin use or accept this form. However, you need to contact the grantmaker before submitting a proposal, as many have added or slightly changed questions included on the form to better fit their needs. Several grantmakers allow grantwriters to type the questions into their own computer - a big timesaver for most people (keep in mind that the space for answers will remain the same). Second, it's a great boilerplate for your grantwriting. The questions are ones typically asked by grantmakers, what ever the project, so it's helpful to fill this form out while you begin your funding research.

How do I get it?

The Common Grant Application form is included here as a Microsoft Word file. If you do not have Microsoft Word installed on your computer and you would like to have the form faxed to you, contact the Donors Forum of Wisconsin office.

Remember: Before filling out the Common Grant Application form, it is essential that you contact the grantmaker.
