Prior to connecting the contribution to the grant, ensure the grant proposal includes:

1. **Status** = **Funded**

2. A **Granted Amount**.

3. A **Granted Date**.

When you record the gift record for this grant (or if it is already entered) you can set the **Grant** field to **YES** and then link it to the grant proposal. The dropdown will show all proposals that have been funded for this grantor.
