  6. Review grant requirements and criteria
  7. Find the discord page for the platform or grant arm of the platform and join; find any potential grants related channels and look for additional information
  8. At this point you will be able to to determine if it’s a fit or not
  9. The primary piece that you need to look for however, is the grant deadlines or grant seasons (Q1, Q2 etc)
  10. If the grant is out of season or opens at a later date, please add the dates to the grant task in the board.
  11. Now you can start a draft for the proposal and use the past applications to fill out the parts of your draft that are already answered in the older applications. Past applications can be found in the DONE section of the board.
  12. Start sharing your draft in the grants channel and weekly grants meetings to get feed back.
