Overview: Project Details and Uploads

Use the instructions, templates and samples provided above to craft a strong grant application.

The project summary should be a clear overview of what you are proposing to accomplish with DBIA grant funds and its impact on your business. The project work plan and timeline and project budget should complement the project summary to give reviewers a breakdown of your plan and requirements for the project.

The business plan is a standalone document that represents the overall state of your business (even if your proposed project is currently your only business activity). There may be some overlap between the information you share on the project plans and the business plan; please do not reference other documents and ensure each document can be understood independently.

If you need assistance completing the application, or you are unable to submit an application online, please contact the DBIA Program Coordinator as soon as possible at eslatter@cdr.wisc.edu or 608-301-7751.
