Following Up on Your Organization’s Proposal

Many funders will say in their grant guidelines that they require a certain number of weeks or months to review all applications, and they will request that organizations not call during that period. In addition, more funders are incorporating site visits into their grantmaking processes, and they want to save all discussion and questions for that time. However, if not specifically mentioned otherwise in their guidelines, it is a good idea to make a follow-up call after a couple of weeks to confirm receipt of your proposal and find out what the next steps are in the process.
