What this is — and who it's for.
Grant reviewers spend 5–10 minutes on a proposal. If your application isn't structured the way they expect, you lose before they even read your idea. This template gives you the exact section order, the language reviewers respond to, and the framing that turns a small business into a fundable applicant.
Use it for federal grants, state programs, corporate grants, and foundation funding.
