This document provides guidance on writing grants to obtain public and private funding. It discusses the differences between public and private funding sources. Public funding comes from federal, state, and local governments and is awarded through a competitive process based on proposal scores. Private funding from foundations is more relationship-based. The document outlines steps for developing a successful grant proposal, including conducting a needs assessment, establishing goals and a research-based program, collaborating with partners, assembling a writing team, using data to identify needs, and defining outcomes and evaluations. Attention to the request details, eligibility, and criteria are emphasized to create a strong proposal.

Creating the ideal marketing plan requires many steps and gathering data. “Knowing the needs of the customer and having a clearly articulated mission will help to target the message to an audience who will be most interested in the service that is being provided” (Sciarra, Lynch, Adams, & Dorsey (2016) p. 340). To find these needs, a needs assessment can be done. After gathering the results, a plan can start to form. Creating a Strength, Weakness, Opportunities, and Threats chart (SWOT) will give you a broader view on how to target your population.
“The first step in conducting SWOT analysis is to identify your stakeholders and data that has already been collected” (Sciarra, (2016) p. 340). Your stakeholders will guide you into the right direction for a plan of action. Looking at the type of population including the children, families, and staff members will give you the data to create your SWOT. Moving forward with the data, now to breakdown your SWOT data analysis and create a marketing plan. Strengths; reviewing this section will give you an objective overview of any changes needing to be made. Strengths can consist of staff, location, cliental, and possibly opportunities. If there are areas of weakness this gives us the ability to make changes. Moving forward with those changes leads us to Weakness, do we see a pattern of areas? What can we do to upgrade or change these areas we have identified? Moving on next to Opportunities, what options do we have beyond what we have now? Is there room for growth both financially and structurally? Finally, Threats to evaluate. Are we looking at opening a facility next door to two other highly rated centers that may cause us competition and difficulty building a successful business? Is there a possibility that the area is losing population and economic strength? Gathering the data and taking a step back and reviewing all the pro’s and con’s will give us a bigger picture when deciding which way to market our audience.
Taking a look at the strengths from all the gathered data will give you a good direction to follow for reaching protentional public relations opportunities. For an example, location, your childcare facility has a prime location in your town and your coming up on your grand opening soon. Planning an.

peer1 The method of developing and application process for funding.docxbartholomeocoombs
peer1
The method of developing and application process for funding contributed by an institution such as a government department, corporation, foundation or trust referred to grant writing. The application process is referred as proposals or submissions of grants. The proposal process included bank parts such as analyzing the intended audience for the proposal gathering information about the subject of the proposal choosing the appropriate type of the proposal, formatting, revising, editing, proofread, and submitting the proposal.
Grant writer use clear specific language for reader’s attention to help persuade readers to fund the proposal.
Writing a successful grant proposal is a great task, but with practice and awareness of common missteps it can become easier. Funders look for sound program that’s incorporated measurable outcomes best practices, qualified staff, success rates, stones, and innovative piece. Also, for agencies funders are looking to see a board that gives solid financials, balance budget, sound record keeping, and variety of funding sources.
How to write an excellent proposal, the proposal should be clear and succinct, heart & head focus, and exemplified. You want to help the funder achieve their goals. There acknowledgement of a successful grant proposal, which includes unique and innovative answers, budget & proposal numbers, volunteers measurable outcomes, and evaluation. Ensure the funder that you have included samples of the program outcome.
Forty percent of applications take six plus months. Grant writing is a learning process.
In order to write be a successful grant writer you have to understand grant makers. Understanding what sponsors want and A-line yourself with state admission. It is important to have competitive files. The title and abstracts some determine who reviews the proposal. The abstracts will need to be separate and independent. Sustainably plans should be competitive and capable of an effort to achieve long-term success stability. Always know your reviewers, speaking the language of the panelist.
Restricted funds can only be determine by the donor, if a donation is restricted or not. The designation can be made by a letter from the donor or through explicit agreement with the non-profit. Some potential pitfalls are associated with restricted gift are often grants from foundation are restricted to a particular program or purpose, and that restriction is set in the documentation that accompanies the award. Another pitfall would include temporarily restriction. Time restricted donation can be used for a particular purpose for a specified period or it must support a specific program or campaign. When the time is up and the project is done the funds be unrestricted or stopped.
Restricted gifts fall into two categories, which include temporarily restricted and permanently restricted. As an executive of a non-profit organization I would not prefer restricted gifts because the charity can invest the g.
You have determined a project idea and are ready to begin the rewalthamcoretta
You have determined a project idea and are ready to begin the research to find the RFP that is the best match for your project.
(My project will be Respite care for children with special needs what come from Military Families)
There are many viable approaches to searching for and locating project funding, but the most effective are those that utilize appropriate technologies. With the specifics of your project in mind, look for RFPs using the state, federal, and foundation grants databases/search engines listed in this week’s Learning Resources. This is an important step, so take your time in identifying grant providers that issue grant awards that align to your organization’s specific cause or need. Bookmark these websites and keep notes in the Process Development Template. Each website offers a wealth of varied information for grant seekers that can greatly enhance your developing understanding of grantsmanship.
When reviewing RFPs, look specifically for the following information:
· Who is eligible to apply?
· How many awards/grants are being given?
· What is the dollar amount of the grant/award?
· What are the collaboration/partnership requirements?
· What is the length of the grant period?
· For private funders, who is on their board and does the applicant have any existing relationships with anyone?

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
This slide is special for master students (MIBS & MIFB) in UUM. Also useful for readers who are interested in the topic of contemporary Islamic banking.
1. Grant Writing Meeting May 9, 2011
Granty Writing to Sustain 21st Century Program
Explaining how to write the grants and sustaining programs
The variety of grants we can get etc...
How to find funding PUBLIC (fed, state, local) and other is PRIVATE(foundations, corporations).
State means it comes through the state tax rolls, federal comes from fed tax roles (can look like state
funding) Many federal prgrams were brought down to the state EXAMPLE 21st Centurty Learning.
Reason to be aware of breakdown (b/c you need to be awasre of the guidlines of fed and state....one
might supersede the other guidlines)
Public is determined by legislation >>>>>Request for Proposal....Request for Applications.....is
competitive through RFP it is typically scored by outside readers and granted or not based on your
score. Each person scoring gets a rubric they will score your proposal based on it. Fund from the top
score down (more points for type of school you are). If you apply for FEDERAL they look nationwide
for your review so its not from your state, the point is to write the proposal as if a martian is reading
it...you need to be VERY DETAILED AND PAINT A PICTURE. They don't know the world you
lived in bc they are from different areas. You want people to real y understand why it is you need what
yo need. You need to talk in that grant about someone who has no clue and be specific for the reasons
and what is behind that answer.
Tight, consise, Rigorus proposals
PRIVATE funding is totally different: it's more about who you know along with what you know. Call
and have a conversation to the Grants Officer to talk about what type of funding they do...they more
conversation you have with them the better chance you will have with the funding. CALL and MAKE
CONTACT, use your needs assessments in the conversation. Keep the conversation open (can I send
you a brief outline) can we get together to meet an develop the relationship. Document may be less
important than personal contacts and reputation.
Locating Funding Sources: Foundation Center, Word of Mouth/ local contacts, Online sources, mailing
list, newsletter
You are doing them a favor by letting them participating in our mission to support our students. ASK
the question about the reporting requirements.... TO find reporting requirements look online at who has
had this money before to ask them about it or every public fiundgin source must have someone you can
call to ask about the reporting requirements.
THE Foundation Center is a great place to look for private funds with a good search option to see who
you can work with and who they have funded before.
TASc data base tascorp.org/toolbox/fundingdb.
The Chronical of Philanthropy more like what happened by others so that you can do it for the
following year.
DEVELOPING THE PROGRAM:
Clear sense of what you want to do before you look for the money....not chase the money, know what
your kids need and what you want to provide them with.
2. 1. Conduct a needs assessment- include having a strong sense of what id your long range goal (vision)
what are you trying to do to make life better for the children, WHat is keeping us from being there
(what are the obstacles). "Poverty"-many types of poverties. What is te data telling us ( look at white
sheet DATA Sources). School Report Card, DOE website, Keeping Track of Children these will
identify issues to put into needs assessments
2. Principles of Effectiveness- required in every federal grant. Identify a need, Identify a
goal( measurable outcome) Ex. Literacy (our school has low levels) Goal is to increase our literacy by
bla bla...then put in place a planned program and researched based that it has had impact (or in real
clear terms why it will have an impact).
3.Creating meaningful collaboration- collaborating with outside foundations is a good idea and having
partners who you trust and like workiing with that you develop and relationship with. Working with a
Group planning for a grant is having a history with them. Reaching out to the counsil members for
monies.
PUBLIC money is more available then PRIVATE.
4. Putting together a grant writing team: making the decisions about the RFP who would be the best
people to have on the team. Divying up the responsibilities, and typically 1-2 people who actually write
the grant. One person in charge of programming and what they want to do and to review what it is that
you are promising. Then the decision maker should bne involved early so you aren't wasting time.
5. Responding to RFP bringing team into place
Data: use multiple sources of data in the needs assessment...you need to show everything from National
Datat, to state Data etc.... Try to use all ones they mention then use others that are specific to your
school. (DID focus group with "4th grade" surveying the community) to identify what their needs are.
Promising Practices--> find researched based for some of these programs (blue paper) need to have
information from somewhere and show why it is we want it.
If you have had evaluations done before you may want to use that in the writing and bragging about the
success with that (achievements etc) that will make your school look marketable. YOU MUST
CONVINCE THEM YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT AND YOU ARE THE
BEST FOR THE JOB!!
Developing Your Proposal: Yellow is an RFP screening sheet...#1 question are we eligible? Can a local
building apply? If not then what can we do about that...we then go out and network the CBO and ask
them to apply. School district ios eligible and you arent call up School DIstirct Grant Manager to ask if
they can put in a grant for you.
Due Date: be very aware especially if you need to get sign offs and letters from people. Reporting
Requirements aren,t outlandish and factor everything into the budget.
Number and Size of Contracts Being awarded: are we ready to be on a bigger level grant seriously
considered.
Philosophy: does it fit with our mission...issue with federal money is that they ask you to particiate with
their evaluation.
3. Define prgram description that is very clear about what you intend to do, requires describing the
curriculum to the weekly and daily schedule..... When you will have Art Classes when HW help is etc.
Defining outcomes and evaluation plan: most require and evaluator who will work with you on the
outcomes...list approved by the DOE look in the business area (people who have contracts and can
input). Look at universities as well, also have someone working with you who knows what they are
doing. Evaluators are approved and are trained through rigorous progress. START the convo before
starting the proposal.
Refer to the PURPLE sheet for the criteria and things to look for and look at when writing a grant.
Funders look for people who they think can get the job done....be aware of your own verbal ticks
(repetative language) Do a word search for the unnecessary words (take out adjectives or adverbs) if
you are over on your word count. Avoid jargon in the grant, use the words in the RFP. Respond to the
buzz words in the RFP not the ones that we are used to only because someone who is reading it isn't
used to hearing out buzz words if they aren't from here.
