How to Write a Proposal

Send proposals to tpf-proposals at perl-foundation.org. Please use the POD template: template.pod.

This proposal includes:

  • Project Title and Synopsis;
  • Your name, and contact email;
  • A discussion on the benefits of the project to the Perl Community;
  • A list of deliverables;
  • Project details and a proposed Schedule;
  • Your biography;
  • The requested amount for the Project Grant;

We'll be marking proposal status on each submission, so if you have several proposals, or several semi-independent segments of a proposal it's generally best to split them into different messages.

To make sure we don't keep reviewing the same proposals long after the proposer has gone on to other projects, we'll automatically mark a proposal as expired after it's been reviewed in two quarterly grant cycles (so, about 6 months). You can always resubmit an updated proposal.

All applicants will be notified of the success or otherwise of their proposal. For queries, more information or assistance with preparing proposals, please contact tpf-grants-secretary at perl-foundation.org
