Format for presenting project proposals
FRONT PAGE
We suggest that you start with a front page that includes:
MAIN BODY OF THE PROJECT PROPOSAL
In this part of the project proposal, please include a description of the following:
Mention any history of previous projects that may be relevant.
How has this project come about? Whose idea was it and who has been involved in its shaping?
How does the project complement the wider work of the Church at local level?
Who are the proposed beneficiaries, for example: women, children, elderly people or others?
What criteria will you use to decide which specific people within these groups will be given priority?
How will local community leaders or volunteers be involved in advising you in the selection of beneficiaries?
How will you involve the beneficiaries and the wider community in the project’s implementation?
Which of these skills are held by your project team?
Which additional skills might you need to obtain from volunteers or paid workers?
Please tell us what the local community will contribute. As well as cash contributions, you can mention the time given by volunteers and donations of food and materials.
Try to keep the budget for external funding simple and easy to understand and make sure that it corresponds clearly to the narrative part of your project proposal.
Be sure to indicate the exchange rate you are using and the corresponding date.
In the budget for external funding, please use two columns for your costs, one for local currency and the other to show the equivalent value in US dollars or euros.
What particular aspects of the project will you monitor and evaluate?
Who will be responsible for doing this work?
How will you involve and gather feedback from the beneficiaries, volunteers and the wider community?
We suggest that you start with a front page that includes:
- The project name and location
- Time-frame (start and end date)
- The amount of funding requested
- Name and contact details of the project coordinator
