Your narrative needs to contain the relevant background information and any preliminary results you can demonstrate, as well as your actual plan for the grant - how youre going to achieve your objectives, why theyre important, and the impact theyll have.
Buzzwords and clichs weaken your narrative, while industry jargon and acronyms make it harder to read and understand. Leave out overused terms such as innovative, cutting edge, and game-changer. Instead, use meaningful language to tell your nonprofits story in your own unique voice.
The budget narrative explains in a clear and concise manner the costs in each budget category, and which budget items will be covered by the grant and which ones will be covered by matching funds (e.g., cost-share or in-kind).
Proposal narratives are typically 5-10 pages in length. Some foundations require shorter proposals and a few expect substantially longer ones. The narrative of your proposal is best organized in sections. You can create whatever sections you like, but the ones described below work well.
