2.4           Sample Federal Proposals

These 111 sample proposals cover a broad range of topics and public grantmaking agencies. They are “sample” proposals and not necessarily “model” proposals.  They vary in quality and level of detail.  In reviewing these sample proposals, recognize that they were made public after the awards were considered to be “old news.” Accordingly, some of the information and strategies proposed will now be out of date.

These sample proposals do not provide all of the detail we need to assess them fully. For instance, we do not always know the nature of the request for proposals (RFP).  We do not know the extent to which the applicants had pre-proposal contact, if any.  We do not know if the applicants had prior relationships with the grantmakers.  We don't even know if all of these proposals were funded. Nevertheless, sample proposals are a source of ideas; sometimes they point out things you want to include in your proposals and something they illustrate things you want to avoid.  Either way, you learn something.

The sample proposals in this section were submitted to federal and state funding sources. While we have grouped the proposals into these two categories, we have segmented out the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) proposals that went to various federal sponsors.

 Webmasters change web addresses often.  If you find a sample proposal that interests you, download it now, for it may not be accessible later. While we monitor these links regularly, let us know if you find a broken link, or if you find a sample proposal that should be added to this list.(info@MinerAndAssociates.com) While sample proposals are sprinkled throughout the Web, two sites in particular have collated many of them: www.k12grants.org and www.sinclair.edu/departments/grants.
