Should I use a sample government grant proposal as my outline?

Using the Internet as a source and a guideline to help you fill out your applications and forms for any of the Canadian government grants and loans programs is a great idea. Remember though that most of the information you are going to find here is a basic guideline. For example, there will be a sample government grant proposal that will give you an idea of what’s required when you submit yours. These are good for giving you an understanding of what is required. Ideally though you really should depend on the services of individuals that are qualified in the types of applications and forms that are required. A wrong application can hold up your response for funding for several weeks. So utilizing a sample government grant proposal is good as a first step only.
