A Project Proposal!

 

A project proposal is much like a business plan. It is usually prepared for people who are not familiar with either your organization or your project. The project plan will give the reader all the information needed about you and the activity you have in mind. Unlike a bank, development agencies are not only interested in the management and financial parts of your business or project

- they are also interested in the development aims. So there are two areas in which your proposal must convince the funder that you deserve its support:

1. You will contribute to development in your community.

2. You are capable of managing the resources needed to meet your dream.

ADVANTAGES
Advantages to the person who is doing the project? Gain skill in developing a project proposal. Learn about the topic being proposed Advantages to the person who will be buying the product being proposed? Well presumably the thing being proposed will solve some kind of problem for the would-be customer. A proposal is an essential marketing document that helps cultivate an initial professional relationship between an organization and a donor over a project to be implemented. A proposal facilitates appropriate words for the conception of an idea. The proposal has a framework that establishes ideas formally for a clear understanding of the project for the donor. Successful proposals mean financial aid for the organization to grow for the replication of project and ideas.  

BENEFICIARIES
Who are the beneficiaries? The beneficiaries are the people on whose behalf the project is being organized. They may include some of the people mentioned above among the partners that are coordinating the project. Generally, the beneficiaries include the participants who will benefit directly from their involvement in the project. In addition, there will be indirect beneficiaries, who may not be active in the project but whose lives will be affected nonetheless. For Example: The direct beneficiaries of the project are the twenty disabled people who will receive skills training and the opportunity for employment in the food industry. The indirect beneficiaries will be the families, including several children of single mothers, whose income will be raised. All disabled people will benefit, as will the community generally, by this example of training and employment for people with disabilities.  

SCOPE
A successful project scope statement should be concise and clear. Anyone reading the statement should have a good idea of what the project consists of (and what will not be part of the project). This statement will give a view of the project. It is also important to be specific in a project scope statement. For example, "The catalog will feature 100 products" is better than "The catalog will feature many products" and "The project will be completed over six months" is preferable to "The project will be completed over a period of time." The more specific you can be, the better.

Project proposals are documents designed to introduce a plan of action, outline the reasons why the action is necessary. Its intend is to persuade the readers something whether it is to persuade a potential customer to gain goods and/or services, or to convince your employer to find a project or to implement a program that you would like to launch.  Project proposals are informative and persuasive writing because they aim to educate the reader and to convince that reader to do something. The writer’s goal is not only to convince or to persuade the reader to do what is being requested, but also to make the reader believe that the solution is practical and appropriate. In persuasive proposal writing the case is built by the demonstration of logic in the approach taken in the solution. Facts must lead logically and inevitably to the conclusion and solution presented. Evidence should be given in descending order of importance, beginning with the most important evidence leading and the least important at the end. Any questions that the reader might pose should be anticipated and answered in a way that reflects the position of your proposal. It is important that the writer, also, considers all sides of the argument providing other alternative solution of the problem, but showing how the one is superior to the others. A properly thought out and executed business plan will help a small business owner to obtain the money they need in order to start the company. Without a concise and clear business proposal a bank may refuse to lend money.
