3. Meet with C&F Office staff to discuss your grant project.
4. Identify a potential funder(s).
5. Develop the proposal summary for review by the C&F Grants Committee.
6. Write proposal, assemble support materials, and finalize budget (coordinate timing and assistance with C&F Office staff).

8. Submit your proposal to funder (with assistance, as needed, from C&F Office).
