As you are working on your final project remember that this is a funding proposal, not your typical end of term paper so it will look a little different.

this proposal should be no longer than 5 pages. It should lay out each section concisely and with facts and citations as needed to make your points more credible.

The paper should have in at least these sections without going over 5 pages of text

title page (does not count for page count)

Introduction to the problem – this section will show the reader the significance of your problem and should contain facts, figures and/or examples to show why this is an important problem worth investing in. This section should contain citations from different sources to make the problem credible.

Purpose of the Project – This section will describe what your program will do to solve a piece of the problem that you discussed above. This section should be concise and clear. This purpose will be the foundation for the rest of the proposal.

Objectives – This section will discuss the objectives of the program. For example, this program will reduce alligator bite injuries in FL by 20%. (2 or 3 program objectives is good ) This section will also discuss the objectives of the education itself, what you expect the participants of the education to come away with. For example, at the conclusion of the course participants will be able to visually identify an alligator. (3 or 4 of these would be good)

Target audience – Who are you aiming your education program at. Will it be all 6th graders in Fl, will it be adults of community organizations etc. Also explain why this is your target group and what you hope that they do with the information/training that you give them.

Budget – this is the technical aspect of the paper where you describe what you need to make this project work. All projects have a cost and someone has to pay it. try to be as complete here as possible. A wishy washy budget is often the no funding flag for organizations. they want to make sure their money is well spent. you can give a short description of the budget and then use a graph to show expenses and breakdowns if you prefer or you can write it out. Remember do not do what is easy for you but is easy for the reader. many projects are not funded because the reviewer can not easily find the important parts.

Conclusion – This is your final sales pitch for the money. Restate your highlights and why I should give you my money for it.

Reference page – All of the sources that you use in your paper should be here in apa formatting. (this page does not count for your page count )
