When to use this form
This form helps you collect budget, need, and impact details when someone seeks money for a project, event, or purchase. Use it if you manage grants, allocate departmental budgets, or review community proposals. For small one-off internal expenses, the Funds request form may be a faster fit. When people seek sponsorship for events, route them to the Sponsorship request form, or to the Individual sponsorship request form if the ask is for a person. Typical scenarios: a nonprofit asks for program support, a school requests equipment funds, or a startup team submits a prototype budget. You get consistent submissions, clear documentation, and a traceable approval trail, which speeds decisions and reduces back-and-forth.
Must Ask Funding Request Questions
- What project or need are you seeking funds for, and what outcome will it deliver?
Reviewers need a clear purpose and expected outcome to judge fit and value. If the request is for recognition rather than money, route applicants to the Award application form.
- How much are you requesting, with a clear line-item budget and any supporting quotes?
This forces a realistic plan and stops vague, round-number asks. Itemized costs make it easier to compare proposals and audit spending.
- What is your timeline, key milestones, and deadline for spending the funds?
Timeframes show whether your plan is feasible and when funds must be released. Milestones help approvers track progress and tie payments to deliverables.
- What other funding sources or in-kind support do you have, and what gap remains?
Knowing secured funds and commitments shows leverage and reduces risk. The remaining gap helps decide how much to award and under what conditions.
- How will you measure impact and report results to stakeholders?
Clear metrics and reporting set expectations before any money moves. This improves accountability and gives evidence for renewals or future decisions.
