How to Apply: Keys to Success

Line to separate heading from body text

The Wisconsin Environmental Education Board (WEEB) has provided a variety of tools and suggestions for you, the grant writer. We hope these will facilitate the application process.

 Be sure to meet the required criteria for funding. These items form the foundation for your proposal. Failure to meet these minimum criteria will result in disqualification. See
General Quality Assurance Checklist
Forestry Quality Assurance Cheklist
Energy Quality Assurance Checklist

Your proposal should stress, "What is in it for members of the target audience?" Be sure to answer the question:

"How will members of the target audience benefit/be affected by participation in the proposed project?"

Proposals that have strong evaluation components designed  to measure potential changes to members of the target audience are generally more successful. Proposals that only stress facility or institutional needs generally do not compete as well.

He/She may help you to avoid common mistakes, strengthen the proposal, and clarify your thoughts prior to the proposal's submission.

Information about previously funded proposals is available via the Recipient Database or you may obtain paper copies of previously funded proposals from local libraries through the Wisconsin Interlibrary Loan System. Each volume contains photocopies of the funded proposals for a given year, beginning in 1990. Request each volume by its call number: ED.1/2:E 58/ 2/ XXXX (XXXX = year). Most recent year is 2008. The author and title of the document are "Wisconsin Environmental Education Board Grant Recipients."

If you are asking it, chances are others have the same question. We will do our best to answer it, and then also address the concern in a future website update.
