OK, there are many ways to write these things. I have read about ten thousand of them in my day. Foundations like mine are all a little different. Requirments differ depending on who you deal with. I like to see proposals that are simple. If I need more info I ask for it. In this case I have a good understanding of how the grant will be used, and who I am dealing with. So in the intrest of keeping things simple here it is.

1. Givr the name of the organazation

2. The request. NJBMX requests the amount of 5000 dollars for the purposes of equipment purcheses and marketting materal.

3. A detalied itemized list of all the purchases.

4. Outline of the purpose of the grant. How the money will be used.

5. Breif history of the orgazation

6. Closing statement.

The name of my foundation is The Tina and Richard V Carolan Foundation Inc.

Rich any questions let me know.

Bill, good just like that. Put that on official NJBMX letter head and give it to me. Wow we have to write the proposal for them, is there anything they can do? Just kidding, but this same kind of proposal can be used to solicit other foundations. I will elaborate on that later.

Just a point of interest, but I want to bring this up again. The grant money is nice, however, I don’t want this to be these clowns thinking that Rich, or someone can bail them out, I hope that some level of getting their house in order will come to, so as not to require another grant, loan, or soforth! Otherwise it will be like giving crack to a junkie, to appease them

Brett one more thing dont put “cost not to exceed” put the exact ammount. Because when they request 5000 dollars, the items they are going to purchase have to add up to that exact ammount. Also, they will have to account for all the expendures.

NJ BMX Inc. would like to respectfully submit a request to the The Tina and Richard V Carolan Foundation Inc. for the amount of $5,000 dollars to be used for the purpose of equipment, promotional and award material. Our organization works closely with the youth of New Jersey through our BMX racing program.

The grant shall be used in the following areas to enhance our program:

*$1,400.00 for a portable public address system to be used during our state races and other large races and events we hold throughout the year.

*$***.00 for promotional material consisting of store posters, flyers, and bicycle hangers, to be used to draw more people to our program.

*$****.00 to be used for trophies, jackets and gear bags for our state awards program.
(Please see the enclosed cost estimates from the companies we will be dealing with.)

As stated above the money will be used to enhance and promote our state program with the hope of attracting more people to racing BMX in NJ.

NJ BMX Inc. was founded in 1981 to foster the promotion and growth of BMX racing in New Jersey through the cooperation of BMX tracks in the state. Our organization uses all money generated by the program to further enhance BMX racing in NJ.

NJ BMX looks forward to working with The Tina and Richard V Carolan Foundation Inc. to foster BMX racing in the Garden State.
