Materials/Information to Gather Before Applying For Grants

I’m working to get together a database of sorts where my team can store all the necessary / commonly asked for information when applying for grants so we can be more efficient in our applications.

What sort of information should we collect / store?

These are the basics that we’ve seen come up time after time in grant applications:

  • percent of team in various identity groups (female/non-binary, POC, low income, etc)
  • basic budget information inc. sources of income and basic expense groups (overhead, travel, robot supplies, etc)
  • mission statement and program description
  • number and ages of students served year-over-year
  • number of volunteers
  • communities/school districts served

I’m sure there’s more I’m forgetting right now. We’ve found that having a bank of answers for standard questions is a huge help as a starting point.
