A tool to turn a good idea into a fundable foundation concept.

Before proposals come clear concepts.

Yet many institutions struggle to translate a good idea into something foundations actually want to fund.

This two-page template helps you quickly clarify:

  • The real problem you’re solving
  • Who benefits and how many
  • The evidence and data that support your case
  • Key activities and outcomes
  • The institutional strengths that make your college uniquely positioned to lead the work

Used by grant strategists to help institutions shape competitive proposals, this template will help you move from:

“We have an idea” → “We have a fundable concept.”

Perfect for:

  • Faculty, administrator, and/or support staff proposal development
  • Strategic planning discussions
  • Early-stage grant concept development
