Pass-Through Grant Narrative Framework Template
Tired of staring at a blank grant application wondering how to describe a "program" that lives at thirty different organizations?
If you write grants for a fiscal sponsor, regranting organization, or intermediary funder, you already know the standard formula doesn't fit. The Pass-Through Grant Narrative Framework flips the script, built around the five-section structure of a typical grant application, making the case that your curation, selection, and stewardship is the program.
What's inside (20 pages, Microsoft Word .docx):
Branded cover page
"How to Use This Template" walkthrough with step-by-step instructions and quick tips
Full narrative template covering all 18 questions across five sections, with placeholder language and coaching notes for every answer
A completed fictional example (Coastal Library Futures Fund) showing exactly how the placeholders translate into a real, fundable narrative
Built-in coaching notes in gray italic
Easy-to-replace placeholders that match the body text exactly
Best for fiscal sponsors, regranting organizations, intermediary funders, statewide associations that grant to members, arts councils that fund individual artists, and any nonprofit that channels resources to a network rather than delivering programs directly. Built by a grant writer, for grant writers.
