How the documents work together

  1. The Boilerplate Library holds your facts and evidence.
  2. The Application Workbook organizes your planning around the published application questions and OTF's six funding priorities. You write the answers yourselves.
  3. The budget, logic model and calendar give you the costs, outcomes and intake dates; the report template prepares your grant results reporting.
