The funding process can look very different depending on the opportunity you are interested in pursuing. The resources below are designed to help faculty, research administrators, and other support staff through the foundation funding process. If you don’t see what you are looking for, please see our FAQs or reach out to our office.

Restricted Foundations - Prior to beginning writing a proposal, please review our list of restricted foundations and contact our office if the foundation you are applying to is on this list.

Resources for Proposals - Writing for foundations differs from writing for other types of funding. Review these resources from the Maryland Philanthropy Network:

• Letter of Inquiry Format
• Grant Proposal Format
• Guide to Maryland Philanthropy Network Grant Proposal Format 
• Grant Report Format

Grants Management - Once an award is made, our office can help with Grants Management. We can keep track of reporting deadlines, assist with foundation visits, and help steward your grant.
