Guidelines
Proposals should be concise and simply bound for ease in preparing copies for each Board Member. The following information must be included:
Problem Statement, Program Objectives, Methods: a discussion of the need for the proposed program or project (documenting the problem with supporting evidence), a description of the program or project for which funding is being requested, (including specific, measurable objectives to be achieved), and the methods or means by which the program goals will be achieved (i.e., the implementation plan and timetable). This entire section absolutely must be limited to three pages.
Evaluation: Expected results or outcomes of the proposed program or project and how they will be measured. The Foundation gives priority to programs or projects that use logical approaches to evaluation.
