Project Design is often given short shrift with an organization believing that they must quickly focus on writing their proposal. Capacity+ believes strongly that winning proposals are most often a result of upfront, comprehensive project design efforts. As such, Capacity+ has developed a proprietary tool we use with clients for developing solid project designs. Working together with your team, we take you through a series of questions and team discussions that serve to fully flesh out and develop a vision and specific components of the project. The resulting information serves to ensure that all aspects of a project have been carefully considered, including its role in relation to the organization’s mission; equally important is understanding the funder’s mission, priorities and requirements.
By spending this time upfront to gather information, develop a project vision and plan, the proposal writing process is much smoother, takes less time to complete – and is an inspiring endeavor for all team members.
Capacity+ will work with your team on Project Design either as a discreet task or in conjunction with proposal writing. Our goal is to help your organization build its capacity to successfully pursue funding for its important work.
Our team has the experience and expertise to help with project design.
