Grant Writing Resources

Wheat Ridge Ministries, like many grant providers, prefers a specific proposal format designed to provide specific information about the request. While the Wheat Ridge Ministries proposal format has some unique features, it basically asks for information required by most grant providers.

Fortunately, many general resources are available today to help grant seekers develop effective grant proposals. Listed below are several of these resources. If you are aware of others that have been particularly helpful to you, let us know...we'll be happy to add them to the list!
