Assignment: Paper 2/Group Oral Presentation 3
REQUEST FOR A PROPOSAL (RFP): Grassroot Volunteer Project
The Programs in Language, Culture and Professional Advancement (PLCPA) is looking to do a pilot sponsoring of a one-time Grassroot Volunteer Project.
The PLCPA is requesting proposals that inform and persuade them to sponsor a worthy Grassroot Volunteer Project. People who volunteer in grassroot projects usually find ways to give back to the community. Engaging in a pilot project will enable PLCPA to gauge whether the project will be able to help build a sustainable relationship with the target group that they do the project with. PLCPA would like you to help think of creative, thoughtful and practical ideas that would highlight the PLCPA slogan of “Make Your Positive Mark on the World” while making a difference in the community that they serve or are a part of.
Look within the university and in the neighboring towns to identify what Grassroot volunteer Project PLCPA faculty, staff and students can partake.
The PLCPA, like many other university departments, is bound by a very strict budget. The budget for their volunteer project is only $1,000.00.
My part is:
· Letter of Transmittal
· Primary Research Attachments (interview with chief committee member)

Your Task: Write a formal proposal fulfilling the PLCPA’s RFP. You will be assigned to a group, and you and your team must all collaborate with one another on all ideas and writing for the assignment. You will also present with your team in an Oral Presentation.
Requirements:
1. All groups must collaborate and contribute equal parts work.
· The draft of Proposal should include details about the primary research the team will conduct. Provide for example, the proposed documents analysis plans and the proposed observation plans as well as any research that the team has conducted to initialize the volunteer project.
