Interested writers must include several items to complete the grant application process. Applicants need to submit a proposal letter describing the project, the need for financial support and a detailed budget of expected costs. Other necessary application materials include: a recent CV (curriculum vitae), five references relevant in the field, a selection of poetry, the first complete chapter of a book or a one-act play written by the applicant.
Organizations requesting grant assistance must submit a description of the project and a detailed budget of expected expenses. Accordingly, organizations should include other supplementary material that supports the relevance and overall need of the grant project in the community (e.g., newspaper or magazine articles and letters of reference). Organizations have to show proof of non-profit status.
To begin the application process, individuals and organizations should request a brochure for information. All grant application materials must be submitted by November 1 with a $25 fee. The Elizabeth George Foundation trustees make final selections on all grant awardees. The entire grant application process usually takes four to six months.
