Project scope
- What is the main goal for this project?
-
Our organization is interested in addressing the prevalence of domestic vilence in new and innovative ways. However, we are currently facing funding challenges related to working with people who have used violence. Most funding is aimed at helping survivors rather than helping people making a peacful change in their behaviors
We would like to collaborate with students to find and complete grant applications.
This will involve several different steps for the students, including:
- Familiarizing themselves with our vision statement and a project we have defined.
- Developing a needs statement that characterizes the community problem and justifies the need for our project and funding.
- Identifying potential sponsors and funding opportunities that are a good fit for our organization and project.
- Improving the clarity and persuasiveness of our company's grant proposal writing.
Bonus steps in the process would also include:
- Identifying new opportunities for community projects.
- Working with a program that is doing something different than everyone else in the Western Hemisphere
- What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?
-
By the end of the project, students should demonstrate:
- Understanding of our organization’s values and purpose
- Understanding of the community project
- Identification of potential sponsors and funding sources
- Recommendations for improving our grant proposals
Bonus steps would include:
- Defining new community projects with appropriate scopes
Final deliverables should include
- A 10-minute presentation.
