About the Common Grant Application

Every grantmaker has different guidelines, priorities and deadlines but all want to receive proposals that articulate how an applicant’s requested funds will be used. The MPC Common Grant Application was developed by MPC grantmaker members to enhance the overall quality of proposals they receive and to create greater efficiencies for grantseekers.
