2008 Continued Funding Application Instructions and Forms

Continued Funding Application Deadline: January 9, 2008
To submit your continued funding application, go to: http://www.nwp.org/cs/public/print/projects/58

2008 Continued Funding Application – Overview

Each National Writing Project site must participate in an annual reporting and review process that supports the renewal of its federal funding. Continuing sites apply for renewal in January by submitting the Continued Funding Application (CFA) by January 9, 2008. This application includes a narrative report of the site's recent accomplishments and challenges and its plans for the year ahead. The application also includes a budget request and contact information for the site and its leadership.

The CFA must be submitted in hard copy and online.

In addition to the 2008 Continued Funding Application, sites must submit a Requested Budget Form (2008–2009), Invitational Summer Institute Schedule (2007), and Site Map. All four of these documents can be downloaded on the 2008 Continued Funding Application homepage.

Deadline

The deadline both for submission of the electronic documents and for receipt of the complete hard-copy packets at the NWP office in Berkeley, California, is 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time on Wednesday, January 9, 2008. The online submission period is January 4–9, 2008.

How to Submit Applications

1. Mail hard copies to the NWP office.
Each site must mail a hardcopy original of the application and budget (with original signatures) plus four copies to the NWP office in Berkeley:

Executive Director
National Writing Project
University of California
2105 Bancroft Way #1042

2. Submit a copy online.
In addition, each site must submit an electronic copy of the completed application. The online submission period is January 4–9, 2008. Signature pages, donor and support letters, and other items available only as hard copies, of course, do not need to be uploaded. Please do not submit electronic files until your site's host institution has officially approved and signed off on their content.
