The Recreation and Conservation Office will no longer use the Letter of Intent format. Instead applicants must have access to PRISM (our projects data management system) and use the Application Wizard to complete this preliminary step. Although not required, we encourage every applicant to complete one per project. This information will give staff a better idea of workload, dollars requested, and geographic distribution.
You will need access to PRISM to use the Application Wizard. To request a user name and password, please submit the Password Request Form (http://www.rco.wa.gov/rco/prism/access.htm). To install PRISM or to get more information about this convenient grant management system, please visit our PRISM General Information and Download page ( http://www.rco.wa.gov/rco/prism/prism.htm).
Instructions for Using the Application Wizard
Begin at the Browser screen and go to New Application about one-third of the way down the screen on the right-hand side. Complete these fields on the New Project Wizard box: Enter Project Name; Select the Funding Program for your application; and then select Project Type. Hit the next tab and proceed to the next screen.
Select Primary Sponsor Organization - Find the name of your agency or organization and click OK. If your organization is not listed, please contact our office (360) 902-3000 for help. Only individuals assigned to the Primary Sponsor Organization can complete the Application Wizard.
The next screen will show all the data you have entered and ask you to verify it. If you need to correct something hit the Back key. If everything is OK, hit Finish. PRISM will now show the project number assigned to this entry. Write it down for future reference, and then hit OK.
ROLES tab - Project Contacts
Use the magnifying glass at the right and find the appropriate contacts. Click on each individual to add them to the project.
DESCRIPTION tab - Project Description
Give a brief description of the project.
FUNDING REQUEST tab - Funding Request Detail
Under this tab complete all items in the Funding Request Details box. This means you need to indicate the amount of funding requested and the match that will be used, if known. Congratulation! You have completed the Application Wizard and given RCO some preliminary information!
