You Need a Grant Sample (or Two)
Grant samples help you leverage the knowledge of people who’ve gone before you. I recommend studying 2 - 3 funded samples. Funded samples are more helpful than unfunded samples.
See below for publicly available grant samples. If you don't see a sample that fits your needs, reach out to your networks to ask for a sample.
