1 of 19 Winning Grants Power Pack Jumpstart your grant success Table of Contents What is a Grant Proposal? Getting the Grant 101 Finding the Right Funders Managing the Grant 2 10 15 4 © Copyright 2017 The Grantsmanship Center https://www.tgci.com/ https://www.tgci.com/ 2 of 19 Most staff members in nonprofit organizations define a grant proposal as a request for money. That definition is only superficially correct. To achieve the best results for their constituents and move more surely toward their missions, nonprofits need to think of grants in a different way. First, nonprofits must consider grants from a funder’s point of view. For funders, a grant award is an investment in positive change. It’s a tool they use for having an impact on issues they care about. Next, nonprofits must consider grants from a mission-focused perspective. Since the point of a grant award is impact rather than money, the real point of a grant proposal is to rally the necessary resources to help the nonprofit fulfill its purpose. A grant is a tool nonprofits use to address important issues within their communities. Definitions matter, and defining grant proposals accurately can help both funders and nonprofits work together more productively. A grant proposal is actually a call to action. It’s a request that a funder join the nonprofit as a partner in achieving specific results. At its best, a grant proposal is a cogent, persuasive, well-supported argument for change. This definition moves the work of grantseekers well beyond reactive dollar- chasing and into the realm of social activism. It’s no longer about supporting “our organization.” It’s about linking arms with colleague organizations, beneficiaries, community members, and funders to embrace a mission and confront the dragons. Focusing on the articulation of a logical argument for action also means that the document you produce when seeking grant funds can be sliced and diced and used in numerous ways. You can use the proposal to educate staff and board members so that they’ll be better prepared to rally community support, engage with other organizations, and convince funders to come onboard as partners. Grants as Advocacy, Not Just Asking What is a Grant Proposal? By Barbara Floersch © Copyright 2013-2017 The Grantsmanship Center https://www.tgci.com/ 3 of 19 You can also use the proposal as the basis for editorials, blogs, presentations, and public testimony. By disseminating solid information widely you’re laying the groundwork for progress. When the community understands the significance of the issue you’re working on, you’re more likely to get the cash, in-kind donations, and volunteers you need to do your work. You can edit the proposal into a briefing document and share it with those who are concerned about the issue or who should be. The list may include politicians, local officials, targeted community members and colleague organizations. ...

Critique 1You have great reflection. I could not concur mo.docx

Critique 1 You have great reflection. I could not concur more with you on the importance of involving students directly and indirectly in the learning procedure and how it will facilitate teachers to assess the learner performance in their developmental phases. You noted that the teacher should focus on developing the learners’ capacity to perceive and appreciate things from different learning perspectives. I do agree with you, but how can we do that? I would like to know your opinion on this point. Regarding to the memorization strategy of learning, memorization is one of the most difficult way for me to deal with. I could not memorize a lot and I can spend a night to memorize one passage. Till today, I could not find a way that makes me able to memorize more. It is really important that teachers and instructors understand that memorization for some students, like me, is very hard and sometimes impossible to memorize. Critique 2 Meaningful learning occurs when learners are ready, and the materials are appropriate to the learners. If we don' t have any information about the learners, the materials we prepare for the learners might be useless. So I think knowing the readiness of the leaners is very important, and all the learners have different needs, that's why teaching learning strategies is very important. Even the leaners have exposed different learning and cognitive environment, they can choose a strategy we teach , which helps them experience meaningful learning. Critique 3 I really liked your reflection and the way you clearly stated your opinion. I noticed that you didn’t talk about both Bruner’s and Vygotsky’s theories mentioned by Driscoll (2005), in this week’s chapter. I would love to read more about your opinion regarding these two important theories by these two great figures and maybe compare them with the model of Collins and Stevens. Critique 4 “The teacher involve students directly in the learning process because this will help them appreciate their weaknesses” I was wandering if the students involve in the learning process how they will appreciate their weakness? I think no one appreciate his\her weakness all of us could appreciate our hard work but not our weakness. What do you think? You said, “Learning should not be viewed as a class an in-class process alone rather a lifelong process that takes places everywhere” I believe that what we have learned in any educational place should we benefit from it to solve the problems outside of educational place. However, you mentioned, ”The process of meaningful learning is an outcome of interaction of the teaching process, and the way the learner is receiving and processing the information” but do you think also that culture and social play important role to produce meaningful learning process? I have Chosen Wayne Metropolitan Community Action Agency for Assignment this must be used for the assignment. Their website is www.waynemetro.org/we-can-help I have already prepared a .

AP - Weeks 13-15 Assignment - Designing an Evaluation Plan Choose a human service agency or program with which you are familiar. It can be the one you have been examining throughout the course or one you wish to examine. Assume that you are either a mid-level manager or an outside consultant and have been asked to do an internal evaluation of the organization to improve client outcomes while reducing costs. In a 4 to 6 page paper: Describe the agency in broad terms including its structure, mission, target audience outcome goals, treatment processes used, size of staff, principle funding sources, and geographic location. This section need not be long, but should be complete enough so that the reader has a fairly clear picture of the organization. Describe your position as you imagine it as either an internal or an external evaluator include such things as who hired you and your own position, feel free to use your imagination. Assess your relative power in the evaluation situation. Identify the information you will need to conduct a thorough evaluation. Identify potential sources of information including representatives of stakeholder groups, written records, opportunities for observation, and any other sources of information that will give you a clear picture of the situation. Identify methods of obtaining needed information from each these sources and give a rationale for using each of these methods. For example note when and why would you use surveys, individual interviews, focus groups, informal interviews for particular groups. Discuss the steps you will use in gathering information. Where will you start the process, how will you proceed and what rationale will you use for your choice? (For instance, some evaluators begin with the person who hired them or assigned them to the task with the idea that the evaluation should answer the questions posed by that person. Other evaluators take a more exploratory approach, talking with all the stakeholders to compare various perspectives. Still others begin with the clientele reasoning that ultimately the success of the agency depends on meeting the needs of those it serves.) Discuss problems you may encounter in the information gathering process. For instance, what parts of the organization are likely to resist the process? How will you overcome their resistance? What ethical dilemmas might you face in conducting such an evaluation. In what specific ways do you want your findings to be used? Discuss how and to whom you will report your results so that your evaluation has a positive effect? .
