I participated in the pre-grant meeting on 2/15 @ 10am and I am glad I did. It saved a lot of time and the information was throrough. I applied for a general ops grant for about 20% of my budget because I really need to be able hire a few folks part time and the funding will allow me to do that without pressure.

Application requirements are very lengthy and overly detailed. Budget enough time for this and/or think about whether it is worth the effort for the money you are applying for.
