Must Ask Funds Request Questions
- What is the purpose of the request and how does it support our mission or strategy?
This aligns the ask with your priorities, so you fund the right work. Clear intent prevents scope creep and sets expectations for impact.
- How much funding do you need, and what is the itemized budget?
A detailed breakdown shows where every dollar goes and whether the amount is realistic. If you need a simple format, the Funding request form shows the level of detail reviewers expect.
- What is the timeline, key milestones, and spending schedule?
Dates and milestones help you plan cash flow and track progress. It also tells reviewers when outcomes will be delivered.
- What outcomes and success metrics will you deliver if funded?
Measurable results make it easier to compare requests and justify approvals. They also define how you will report on impact after the project.
- What other funding sources have you secured or applied for?
Knowing matches, in-kind support, or pending grants reduces risk and may stretch your budget. It also prevents double-funding the same cost.
