So far, you have developed some of the components of the grant proposal identified to meet the need for funding the criminal justice initiative that you selected in Week 1. For this assessment, you develop the remaining components, revise previously completed components based on feedback, and compile your final grant proposal. While you are not required to submit your grant proposal to the funding organization you selected, it should be compiled in a way that it would be ready for submission to the organization if you choose to do so.
Assessment Deliverable
Write an executive summary to introduce the grant proposal that you have been compiling throughout the course as if you were a grant writer for an agency that supports the selected initiative. This summary will be the first item included in your proposal, followed by the components developed in Weeks 1–4.
In your executive summary, describe the key information from the components of your proposal in the following order:
Describe the organization you selected and the project you are applying for. Summarize the needs statement and explain why the project is important to the affected community.
Summarize what is included in the project activity and how it will be completed. Describe how you will evaluate the success of the outcome of the project.
Summarize the total amount of the anticipated budget for the project and the amount you are requesting from this organization.
Explain why your agency would be the best recipient of the funding for this project. Note the credentials of the individuals who will be influential to the project.
