University of West Georgia Module 7 Grant Writing Discussion

Instructions for this Discussion

For this discussion, respond to the following:

Reflect on the following two questions below. Answer them thoroughly and be sure to discuss and analyze the key concepts for the readings and resources in module 7. Include in your discussion a clear linkage to at least the following learning object:

1. Let’s say you want to show that you will sustain a literacy program for immigrants in your community if the Lee Foundation gives you a grant to cover the first year. How will you convince the foundation that your program is not a “one – year wonder”? Please use as many ideas and examples as possible from the posted readings (remember to cite were appropriate).

2) If awarded a grant, carry out the program, being as faithful to your original proposal as possible. Avoid promising to do anything you know you can’t do! If you get the grant, you’re obligated. A good rule of thumb: under -promise, then over -deliver.

What if an organization asks you to write a grant, but once you’re into the process, you realize it doesn’t have the capacity to carry out the program as specified in the RFP or funding announcement? How would you handle that situation?

Remember to include in your discussion a clear linkage to at least the following learning objective: Writing grant proposals effectively and concisely (LO4).

Your initial discussion posts should be at least 250 words. You will also need to respond to at least two of your classmate’s posts.

Also, make sure your responses are substantial and consist of at least 100 words in order to receive full credit.
