Proposal Development Award
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan Foundation
A rolling capacity award that pays for the grant-writing itself: technical assistance, freelance proposal writers and related proposal development costs for Michigan nonprofits that lack in-house grant writing capacity. Useful for a community agency preparing a research or evaluation proposal to the Foundation, the Michigan Health Endowment Fund or a federal agency.
