Grant Writing Toolkit
An implementation plan includes the activities, milestones, and deliverables within your project.
One of the best ways to show the funder when activities will occur within the project - and that the project is achievable within the given time frame - is to create a timeline or Gantt Chart. This gives the funder a visual representation of how your project is going to be implemented.
For greater transparency in your project timeline, consider including details of which project team member is responsible for each activity.
The format of your project timeline will depend on the funder's requirements. Always read the funder's guidelines carefully when developing your project timeline.
