This section is often the bulk of a Grant Proposal and requires a great deal of thought, planning, and purposeful writing. The first step is to write a series of objectives to solve “the problem” you identified in the “Statement of Need.” The objectives need to be chronologically ordered and specific. A combination of behavioral, performance, process, and product objectives are recommended. 

(If you chose Option 1, your task is to: gather the data from your contact person; organize his or her thoughts on how the Project will proceed once the money is awarded; synthesize the information; and write a coherent and concise description for the Grant Proposal. If you chose 

Option 2, it’s more creative writing on your part.)

Then from the project objectives, you need to identify and explain the “day-to-day” activities to implement your organization’s “solution.” Be sure your activity list is comprehensive. For example, if you plan to hire new staff, think through all the issues to get this process done (e.g., advertisement, interviews, background checks, references check, etc.) and the time it will take to complete the hiring process.

You also need to keep in mind two other issues. First, that your objectives are the items to be assessed in the evaluation component of the Grant. Secondly, when you create your budget summary, the individual line items will reflect the costs associated with the activities that are fulfilling the objectives. 

Don’t forget to use a timeline table in your Project Description. Whether it’s a Gantt chart or a similar table illustrated in the one of the textbooks, it serves a valuable function to the Grant Maker’s readers.

Statement of Need

Brooklyn region is currently facing a severe problem of drug abuse among the youths. Parents from this area are complaining that most of their children are abusing drugs and they do not know how to help and control them. This issue has lead to an increase in crime rate due to gang-related activities, school dropouts among the youths, and laziness (Debchoudhury, Ling, Sacks, & Farley, 2019). This action has forced a group of youths to form an organization known as Lead by Example Mentoring the Youth in an attempt to arrest the situation.

The mission of Lead by Example Mentoring the Youth Organization is to put complete faith into practice through programs that build our youth confidence, leadership and provide opportunities for young people to become that entire God intends for us to be. This action would be conducted by upholding and incorporating Christian beliefs, values, and standards through programs to facilitate healthy development, gainful knowledge and spiritual growth among the youths in Brooklyn. This program will not only be available for youth but also adults as well. The goal of this program would be geared towards behavioral changes on the youths in the fight against drug abuse among youths.

This program for the youths will be applied in Brooklyn, New York. The program targets about 2,000 youths in this location. Research conducted between 2000 and 2017 indicates that the rate of drug abuse among youths (15-24 years) in New York has been increasing by 9% (Debchoudhury et al., 2019). This result indicates that youths are soon being consumed by drug abuse. However, through Lead by Example Mentoring the Youth, the organization believes it would be able to reduce drug abuse cases among the youths and be able to turn them into morally upright individuals in the community.
