In writing, do not be impatient. Most people devote two to four weeks in general just to compose a Government proposal. They have to make sure that whatever proposal they send to the government agency, it will be the gist of whatever direction their business endeavor will head to. At the same time, it would have to be credible and deserving of the funding the government could possibly bestow to them.

Gather the information about your company. You can get these in the paperwork they provide you once you start working for them. In this way, whatever you put on paper in your proposal is actually the information the company has divulged beforehand. Thus, it will give the government agency a better idea on why the business needs the extra funding.

If these aren’t available for you, ask help from those who could possibly assist you in doing so. If your company is non-profit, approach a board member who has a long tenure. If it is a large establishment, go to the program and financial support staff.

Step one: the concept. It is very necessary that you show to government agencies you have a concrete idea where to take your project. You have to make sure that the goal of your project is in accordance with the mission and vision of your company. Whatever documentation you presented, you must keep a copy for yourself, just in case the need for it arises.

Step two: the program. The information you can include in your proposal is:

a.) the nature of the project and how you plan on pulling it off
b.) a timeline for the activities you presented
c.) the possible outcomes and evaluation chart that will be utilized to rate the progress of the project
d.) the needs of the staff and volunteers.

Step three: the expenses. Now this is the hardest of them all because it involves money. You cannot specify how much the over-all cost will be. That is why this is the last section of the proposal. At this point, you do not have to give the government agency the full 411, but at least give them the idea on how much percentage will be allotted to this aspect and this aspect.
