The Funding Futures Grant is administered by The Grant Writing Firm. Applications will be reviewed using the published evaluation criteria by a review committee that may include independent reviewers.

Applicants are not required to be current or former clients of The Grant Writing Firm. Purchasing services from The Grant Writing Firm will not increase an applicant’s likelihood of selection, and choosing not to purchase services will not negatively affect an application.

Reviewers are expected to disclose any actual or potential conflicts of interest and will not participate in the evaluation of an application when a conflict exists. Having a process for disclosing conflicts and removing conflicted individuals from decision-making is a recognized governance safeguard.

Application information will be used solely to evaluate applicants, administer the Funding Futures Grant, and communicate with applicants. Information will not be sold or shared publicly without permission, except as required by law.

Submission of an application does not guarantee funding. The Grant Writing Firm reserves the right to verify eligibility, request additional information, reject incomplete or ineligible applications, modify the program timeline when necessary, or decline to issue an award if no application sufficiently meets the published criteria.

The selected recipient and runners-up may be recognized publicly only after receiving their permission.
