Grant Development at CR

Faculty and staff at College of the Redwoods are encouraged to pursue private and public grants that advance the College’s Mission, support Vision 2030, and align with the Strategic and Education Master Plans. Successful grant development strengthens programs, services, and facilities that benefit our students and community.

To ensure alignment and adequate institutional support, all employees must complete and submit a Preliminary Grant Assessment Form before beginning any grant application. This process ensures that:

• Proposed grants directly support CR’s mission, goals, and plans.
• Adequate resources are available to meet project activities, reporting, and compliance requirements.
• Efforts are coordinated across divisions, departments, and programs.
• Grant proposals must be reviewed and approved by the President’s Cabinet prior to submission.

Preliminary Grant Assessment Form

Next Steps: 

• This form should be fully filled out and sent to your supervisor and senior administrator for review and signature of support. 
• Completed forms should be submitted via email to grant-support@redwoods.edu 
• The Grants team will review proposals for completeness and route to Cabinet for their imput. 
• Upon review of Cabinet, the Grants teams will follow up on next steps.
  • Approval from President's Cabinet is needed prior to applying for any grant.
