grant proposal
Money-seeking document
A grant proposal is a formal written request for funding from a foundation, government agency, or other organization that awards grants.
It typically outlines a project's goals, methods, timeline, and budget, making the case for why the work deserves support: She spent weeks polishing the grant proposal before the deadline.
Writing grant proposals is a central skill in academic research, nonprofit work, and the arts.
