First, read AP 171 , Procedures for Obtaining and Administering External Funding through Written Proposals (pdf). This AP is a roadmap for the process of seeking external funding.

Next, use the Pre-Approval for External Funding through Written Proposals form to help you formulate concrete ideas about a fundable project. You may not be able to answer all of the questions on this form the first time you start working on it. Proposal development needs time for thinking, planning, and brainstorming.
To receive a copy of the Pre-Approval form, contact Beth McLucas

Contact Alice Duncan or Morgan Horton. We will be happy to discuss your idea, answer your questions about the process, and schedule a planning meeting.
