Once you have your proposal complete, it's time to send it out. Before you do, check the RFP carefully for the following things:

- Make sure you have the proper number of copies of your proposal.

- Check to see when the proposal must arrive at the destination. Most established grant writers will tell you not to send it too early, and never send it late.

After you're sure everything is complete, contact the shipping agency (FEDEX seems to be the most reliable in this area) and prepare your documents for shipping.
