Procedure to Apply for a Grant

STEP 1

Download the Grant Application Checklist, a series of questions designed to help you determine whether to pursue grant funding for a specific project.

STEP 2

Contact the Grants Office to let us know that you are interested in a grant opportunity or are responding to a request for proposal.

Prospective grant projects must align with the College’s strategic priorities. You also must have the approval of your supervisor before we can begin work on your full proposal.

STEP 3

Download the Grant Concept Form.  This form will help you to organize your proposal and verify alignment with the college’s strategic planning documents.

You must have institutional approval for both the development and submission of proposals.

STEP 4

Once you have completed the Grant Concept Form and obtained all required approvals/signatures, etc., forward the guidelines or website info, along with a copy of the Grant Concept Form, to the Grants Office so that we can work with you to complete your proposal/application.

Please complete the Grant Proposal Submission Approval Form before you submit your proposal/application to the funding agency. Signatures demonstrate institutional support and commitment.

Procedures for Gift Solicitation and Gift Acceptance

The College receives a variety of useful and welcome gifts from many sources. These are generously donated by private individuals, business firms, students and staff whose continued interest and support are evinced in these actions.

In order to document the receipt of these gifts for formal acceptance and acknowledgement by the College President and Board of Trustees, the Gift Acceptance Form is required.

Many times staff and faculty contact individuals or businesses or are approached by a donor. In this situation, the Gift Acceptance Form should be completed, signed by the Chair or Dean accepting the gift and the appropriate Vice President and, once completed, forwarded to the Office of Grants and Institutional Development within 30 days of gift receipt.

If the donation is books, it should be determined if the books will reside in an academic department or if they will be donated to the library. If the latter, this form does not need to be completed and alternatively the Director of the Library, William McNelis, should be emailed at wmcnelis@brookdalecc.edu. To view the book donation procedure, please visit the library’s donation procedure page which can be found at https://www.brookdalecc.edu/library/about/library-policies/book-donations-and-gift-acceptance/.

Any donations that are monetary gifts of cash, securities, real estate and planned giving should be directed to the Brookdale Community College Foundation by emailing Nancy Kaari, nkaari@brookdalecc.edu.

Please keep in mind that the College does not assign or validate a monetary value for gifts. This is the donor’s responsibility.
