This planning workbook will help your club plan your projects strategically so that you’ll be ready when the right grant comes along. The workbook will identify and address project needs and gaps in service delivery well ahead of grant program openings.
The aim of the workbook is to get you thinking about essential aspects of your projects that might otherwise go unnoticed. This preparation phase will help your club significantly increase the chances of getting projects up that will really boost your community impact.
Working through the process highlights the why and how behind your proposed project, helping pinpoint how it meets your club’s needs. You’ll also delve into finances, estimating costs, identifying potential revenue streams and planning for ongoing maintenance and asset management.
The workbook prompts you to seek out relevant data, statistics and supporting information from various sources. Additionally, you’ll be encouraged to consider alternative approaches, demonstrate community support, assess available resources and craft a well-defined project schedule.
Finally, the workbook can be a starting point for broader planning, such as feasibility studies or business cases. With a well-structured and comprehensive project plan in hand, your club can confidently move into the development assessment and funding phases.
