...Position paper From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A position paper is an essay that presents an opinion about an issue, typically that of the author or another specified entity; such as a political party. Position papers are published in academia, in politics, in law and other domains. Position papers range from the simplest format of a letter to the editor through to the most complex in the form of an academic position paper. Position papers are also used by large organizations to make public the official beliefs and recommendations of the group. In academia Position papers in academia enable discussion on emerging topics without the experimentation and original research normally present in an academic paper. Commonly, such a document will substantiate the opinions or positions put forward with evidence from an extensive objective discussion of the topic. In politics Position papers are most useful in contexts where detailed comprehension of another entity's views is important; as such, they are commonly used by political campaigns, government organizations, in the diplomatic world, and in efforts to change values (e.g. through public service announcements) and organisational branding. They are also an important part of the Model United Nations process. In government, a position paper lies somewhere between a white paper and a green paper in that they affirm definite opinions and propose solutions but may not go so far as detailing specific plans for implementation...

...writing; the nonprofit company must research what funding is available for their type of nonprofit. This is a very important step; most nonprofits rely on grants to help them in some way pay for the next year. If the company does not do their research correctly they could miss a great opportunity. Interestingly enough, not only does the federal government offer grants but so do professional organizations, private industries, and private foundations (Berger & Moore, 2011, pp. 167-168). Therefore, the grant writer should make sure they do enough research on all the possible grants that would be offered for the nonprofit. After the grant writer has decided which grants might benefit the company, they then have to go through and write each grant individually. This is due to the fact that each funder will have different objectives, and goals, the company must make sure that all of their ideas a goals line up with the funders. If this is not the case then the funder will not give the grant to that nonprofit company. There are several ways a grant writer can make sure that their grant is written effectively “1. The need. Clearly describe the need your project will meet in the community. 2. Differentiation. Tell how your organization’s work is different from the other nonprofits. 3. Make a difference. State how this grant will make a difference in the community” (Cynder Sinclair, 2013, p. 1). If they follow these simple steps they should be able to write a...
