ENG 102 San Diego State University Non Profit Organization Grant Proposal
Create a grant proposal that is 5-7 pages Times New Roman Size 12 Font Double-Spaces APA Format about a small community organization that helps benefit people. The topic I picked was buidling a small organization to help manage money. The cover letter must be less than one page, single-spaced. The rest of the proposal will be 1½ spaced.
Focus
Proposals are all about identifying challenges, needs, things that people notice that could be made better through action. Whether it’s a community-based proposal, internal project management proposal, solicited or unsolicited proposals, grant proposals, or sales proposals, each of these types is directed at change and addressing some need.
Scenario
You are working as part of a small non-profit organization in Phoenix, Arizona. The executive director puts you in charge of identifying a community problem or need at Arizona State or in the Phoenix area. For example, the lack of after school math tutoring at a Phoenix school for at risk children or a local theater company that is partnering with ASU students to create a play about domestic violence, or a smart community grant to get better quality services for the disabled at the ASU Downtown Campus.
