- Common Grant Application Format
Grantmakers of Western Pennsylvania created the Common Grant Application Format to simplify the
process of requesting and making grants. It is designed to benefit both grantseekers and foundation and
corporate decision-makers who review grant proposals. It is NOT a form to be filled in. It is a format to be used
as an outline for organizing and writing proposals. The foundations that have agreed to accept the application are listed on the last page of the application.

We often get phonecalls and emails from grant writers, asking for the Common Grant Application in Word format, so that they can 'fill it out'. While the CGAF is intended to be used as an OUTLINE for organizing and writing proposals, we are happy to make the Cover Sheet available as a Word Form.
