Musicians and music teachers often apply for funding to support their projects. They might request money to purchase new equipment for their schools, to organize a summer workshop or camp, to travel to a library for research, or to attend a summer academy or workshop for intense study with well-known teachers.
Whether you write a grant proposal on a form provided by the funding agency or draft your own, it typically includes several sections:
an introduction that briefly describes the project and covers basic details about when, where, and how you expect the project to be achieved
an outcomes section describing all the objectives you expect to attain with your project
an itemized list of anticipated expenses
a timeline section providing a schedule for completion, including deadlines for specific tasks
a list of qualifications—the personal skills and experience that will enable you to complete the project
a résumé
