GRANT LIFE CYCLE

The Grant Life Cycle lists the complete process steps for a GAIA Foundation Grant – from the first expression-of-interest to the end-of-grant final report. Each invitation to complete the full Application Kit will include additional narrative description of these steps. This Grant Life Cycle is our guide to the entire grant process: how to apply and what to do to make a best case for grant approval of a proposed project.

This following summary outlines the process steps. Major grants will be expected to provide a greater detail of the elements in the application. Smaller projects that are clearly-described and well-designed will require less detail though the elements will remain the same.
