All great projects start with an idea. Your job as the visionary is to figure out how PVCC can implement your idea (plan a project) and make a case for why your idea deserves funding (create a proposal). The job of the PVCC Grants Office is to partner with you and your project team to match what you've planned with potential funding sources and to help develop your initial proposal into a competitive grant application.

Contact the Grants Office early in your grant development process. View a copy of the Grants Manual, Grant Project Preliminary Approval Form, and Grant Project Fast-Track Approval Form. The PVCC Grants Office policies and procedures have been designed to encourage a coordinated, consistent, and efficient approach to the development process.

Dozens of new grant announcements surface in any given week, so please e-mail Bob Antrobus, Grants Officer, or stop by room 727 in the Jessup Library with your ideas so we can search those postings with your needs in mind.
