THE GRANT  PROPOSAL

Proposals typically range from 5 to 10 pages. They are submitted electronically.
Your proposal must describe:

• How you intend to use Weil Foundation funds: the work plan and timeline.
• The goals and expected outcomes of your proposed work, project or program.
• Who will be the key personnel to implement and provide oversight to the proposed work and, briefly, what are their qualifications?
• Evaluation criteria -- how you will know whether the goals and outcomes have been achieved?
• How your work may produce benefits that go beyond your own organization and community and affect the larger effort to advance integrative medicine.
• How your proposed work will address the mission and current strategic focus of the Weil Foundation.
• If the Weil Foundation has supported your work in the past, explain how the proposed work builds on past Weil-supported efforts

Please enclose with your proposal:

• A completed Weil Foundation proposal cover page (PDF). Please also print, sign, and submit - by regular mail - a duplicate hard copy of that cover page.

• Budgetary information for the proposed work, including:
  • (a) all costs and expenses to be incurred by the work, and
    
  • (b) the amount and source of all revenue that will cover these expenses.
    We are interested in knowing about income and expenses for the project as a whole and the expenses likely to be covered by the Weil Foundation grant. Thus, if this work is part of a larger project, provide budgetary information about that project and indicate what parts the Weil Foundation funds will cover.

The Weil Foundation does not cover "indirect costs"
The Foundation recognizes that institutions bear costs in addition to those typically recognized as "direct costs." We encourage applicants to specify as "direct" any extra costs that can be directly traced to project work, including administrative support and local travel. The foundation reimburses use of privately owned vehicles at the rate of $0.60 per mile. If an applicant applies for grant support for activities or services that the Foundation considers to be indirect costs, we will delete that cost from the request and reduce the total amount requested by the same amount.

• Organizational information (about your organization and/or the institution of which it is a part), including brief mission and history, distinctions and accomplishments, and the like. An annual report, brochure, or Web site references are welcome as a way of providing or complementing this information.

• If your organization has not received a Weil Foundation grant in the past, include a copy of your IRS determination letter confirming status as a 501 (c) (3) organization.
