The first part of the grant proposal PEACE needs to develop is the table of contents, which will also be one of the last parts to finish. It is a guide to what is in the proposal and where to find it. It is one of the first things to be developed because it serves as a checklist during the writing process and is one of the last to be finished because the pages where each section can be found will not be known until the proposal is mostly finished. The next part is specific aims. This section can be referred to as or includes as subsections the needs and problem statement, the background and significance, or the literature review.

...to Writing a Grant Proposal Axia College Steps to Writing a Grant Proposal Section One: Grant Proposal Writing Funding is major issue for all organizations. For-profit businesses depend on loans and revenue to support them, build inventory, and expand. Non-profit organizations are slightly different; they depend primarily on grants and donations to continue operations. Writing grant proposals is an important aspect of the financial well-being of any human services agency. With a little talent, proper support, the right connections, and well-aimed program plans, an organization may tap into the resources offered by government, private industry, and other charitable organizations. When writing a grant proposal, there are several important steps which must all be followed if they are to be seriously considered by donors. After finding an appropriate Request for Proposal (RFP) or Request for Application (RFA), it is important to write the proposal to address the issues for which the donor is offering support or program monies. The first step is to write an abstract of your proposal; it contains a basic summary of your proposal including the name of your agency, type of agency, purpose and objectives of the project, specific interventions of the project, target population, location and setting of the project, and relevance of the proposed project to the funding intentions.

The first part of a grant proposal is the abstract. This is a 45 line max summary of what the agency is about. The abstract section may be the shortest part of the proposal, but it is the most read, which makes it the most important of the whole proposal. With the abstract being the most important part of the whole proposal, it is vital that the writer be very vigilant and professional in writing out this portion.

...Writing a Concept Paper Many private foundations have always required a concept paper be submitted for review prior to the submission of a full proposal. In recent years federal and state agencies have begun to encourage the use of concept papers as a way for applicants to obtain informal feedback on their ideas and projects prior to preparing a proposal. Some of these agencies now require a concept paper be submitted as part of the formal submission process. The purpose of a concept paper, from the funding agency’s point of view, is to help applicants develop more competitive proposals and to save time by eliminating proposals that are not likely to be funded. The applicant’s purpose in developing a concept paper is to capture the interest of the funding agency and demonstrate that the idea they are proposing is worthy of further consideration. Therefore, the first sentences of a concept paper are very important. You want the funding agency representatives or board members to continue reading!

Long-range Objectives * To achieve their goal in becoming the number one publishing company who is specializes in collegiate books in all the companies who publish books. V. Area of Consideration/Analysis The hindrances of the problem is the president, Delia de los Reyes, didn’t like the suggestion of one of her partner in the company which is to establish planning and clear-cut policies and programs to guide decision making. Another hindrance is she believes that if she focuses in formulating plans and policies today, she might not have a company tomorrow. In short, for her it is best to solve problems as they happen. VI. Alternative Courses of Action 1. Create a more inviting business proposal to the president so that she will agree in implementing that proposal in her company. Strength: If your proposal is more inviting than before or others. The more she will accept your proposal even though she has that kind of beliefs. Weakness: If you are a person who don’t have the talent to create inviting proposals. Your proposals will never be approved by the president even though the...
