Ask for the right amount
Reviewers notice a request that is far above what a foundation usually gives. Every foundation page here shows its typical grant beside its giving history. Ask for an amount that funder is used to approving and the proposal starts from a number it recognizes. Quillify then drafts that proposal from your own documents.
