Fast Recap

What we covered today

Minor Acts Generate Immense Change. From spotting a need to submitting your application.

1

Identify a Community Need

Every project starts with a real need. Think about what your community is missing, and who it would help.

2

Write a SMART Goal

Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound. Every strong project starts with a clear goal.

3

Budget Your Project

List every cost, separate needs from wants, check for in-kind support, and leave a small buffer.

4

Apply for the Grant

Workshop, write your grant, present it, do your project, then report back. Awards range from $500 to $1,000.
