✅ May 18 – Day 18 #WRITING GOALS: ✍️ Grant Proposal Writing

-

🎯 Focus: Writing formal, persuasive proposals to secure funding or support for projects.

📌 Usage: Used by nonprofits, researchers, organizations, or freelancers to pitch projects to donors, foundations, or governments.

📘 What is Grant Proposal Writing?

A grant proposal is a structured request for funding that explains:

  • What your project is

  • Why it matters

  • How it will be done

  • How much funding is needed

  • What impact it will create

It’s both persuasive and factual — blending storytelling (to appeal emotionally) and technical details (to build trust).

🧱 Key Elements in a Grant Proposal:

  1. Executive Summary – Overview of the project & funding needs

  2. Problem Statement – The issue you’re addressing

  3. Goals & Objectives – What you hope to achieve

  4. Methods/Approach – How you’ll execute the project

  5. Budget – Funding required, itemized if needed

  6. Evaluation Plan – How success will be measured

  7. Organization Info – Why you (or your org) are capable

  8. Conclusion / CTA – Restate need + gratitude

  ✅ Real-Time Grant Proposal Example

Organization Name: CleanWaterForAll Foundation
Project Title: Solar-Powered Filtration System for Haripur Village
Funding Request: $10,000
Submitted to: The Global Relief & Sustainability Fund
Submission Date: May 18, 2025

1. Executive Summary

CleanWaterForAll seeks $10,000 in funding to implement a solar-powered water filtration system in the village of Haripur, an arid region in northern India. Currently, 350+ residents rely on contaminated groundwater, resulting in recurring illness and poor community health.

This proposal outlines our plan to deploy a cost-effective, solar-run purification unit within 60 days. The system will ensure long-term access to clean water with minimal maintenance. CleanWaterForAll has successfully executed 12 similar projects in the region over the last 3 years. We request your support to improve public health and enable sustainable living for Haripur’s families.

2. Problem Statement

Residents of Haripur suffer from a lack of potable water. The village’s only source is an open well contaminated with industrial runoff and biological waste. Cases of diarrhea, typhoid, and skin infections are frequent, especially among children.

Local authorities have insufficient funds for infrastructure upgrades, and bottled water is unaffordable. There is a critical need for an affordable, durable solution that does not rely on unreliable electricity or chemical-heavy purification.

3. Goals & Objectives

Goal: Provide long-term access to clean drinking water for Haripur village.

Objectives:

  • Install one solar-powered filtration system by July 15, 2025.

  • Train 4 local volunteers for operation and maintenance.

  • Reduce waterborne illness reports by 70% within 6 months.

4. Methodology / Implementation Plan

  1. Procurement: Partner with SunClean Solutions to acquire the solar purification unit.

  2. Site Setup: Identify an accessible location and install the unit with solar panels.

  3. Training: Conduct a 2-day training for local volunteers in maintenance and hygiene education.

  4. Community Awareness: Run water-safety campaigns through local schools and health clinics.

  5. Monitoring: Track health reports via our local health worker partner every 3 months.

5. Budget Breakdown

Item Cost (USD)
Solar Filtration Unit $5,000
Solar Panel + Installation $2,000
Local Labor & Training $1,500
Community Awareness Materials $500
Monitoring & Reporting $1,000
Total Requested $10,000

6. Evaluation & Reporting

We will evaluate project success based on:

  • Pre/post health report comparison from local clinic

  • System functionality (bi-monthly inspection)

  • Community feedback (monthly surveys)

Reports will be submitted to the funding body at 3-month and 6-month intervals.

7. Organization Information

CleanWaterForAll is a registered nonprofit working in India since 2016. Our mission is to provide sustainable clean water solutions to underserved communities. To date, we have delivered 25+ filtration systems and impacted over 15,000 lives.

We have a proven track record, transparent finances, and strong partnerships with rural health workers and local governments.

8. Conclusion / Call to Action

This project offers a lasting, high-impact solution to Haripur’s clean water crisis. With your support, we can deliver immediate health relief and prevent long-term waterborne disease for an entire village.

We thank you for considering our proposal and look forward to a partnership that transforms lives.

THE ANGEL FROM GOD

THE ANGEL FROM GOD “Clean your room, Lily,” said Rahab, her mom. Lily nodded her head, with her eyes focused on her mobile, lying down with ease and irresponsibility over her works and studies. After an hour, she remembered to finish an assignment ,with an alarm. With a battle in her mind, for procrastinating both cleaning and assignment works, she got up from bed and kept her mobile near her watch. Suddenly she went into a class, seeing herself in that room. She was amazed to see it. She can see that there’s an English class going on, she had a jerk in her heart. Then after 10 minutes , two teams finished their speeches. It was her team’s turn. Her friend took the first part and presented it. Lily noticed that her friend presented a huge part of her (Lily) script. Lily became nervous. It was her turn.

A Journey Beyond Borders

-
Aboard a grand vessel that rocked gently with the tides, people from all walks of life—farmers, teachers, miners, artists, software developers, soldiers, merchants, healers, tailors, poets, construction workers, dancers, engineers, and countless others—embarked on a 30-day voyage across oceans. The ship echoed with the voices of different tongues, laughter, songs of home, and hopes for the future. What united them wasn’t their past, but a shared anticipation of change. But destiny took a sharp turn. After reaching the edge of their journey, the ship suffered irreparable mechanical failure. With urgency and political interest, a nearby nation—Aidni offered to sponsor a flight to take these people home or at least to safety. The country broadcasted its decision with pride. The state-run channels of Aidni framed it as a humanitarian act, a generous gesture in an election season where every vote mattered. However, behind closed doors, dissent brewed. “This is a strategic mistake,” grumbled...

THE BROKEN WING

-
Novi, from New Gate, was headed to Bell City to inaugurate the Independent Editorial Company (IEC), which started as a blog. The blog gained popularity after continuous political victories and stirred social issues such as caste, religious politics, financial biases, and unfair justice. It remained unnoticed for a year until a controversial tweet by her mother, Helen Novina, went viral. The tweet put the blog in the spotlight, making Helen the movement's catalyst, though she was tragically killed later. Upon arriving in Bell City, Novi took an auto ride with a familiar driver—their silent exchange speaking volumes. He was once an advocate who had resigned after failing to get justice for a woman and her daughter. And here she was, attending the conference with a bold face and her chin held high. At the IEC, Novi was greeted and proceeded to deliver her speech. “Never hide your passion or honesty. In your journey, your audience may be risking their lives to support you. Think about ...
