...would be to obtain at least $15 million in funding sources within the next two fiscal years. We would pay special attention to the requirements of the competitive awards and would not attempt to complete proposals for awards that we are not currently eligible for. The throughput will be the number of grant proposals that are submitted. Our inventory is measured in open and eligible grants that we have not been completed or submitted. And the operational costs would include personnel costs, fundraising expenses and other resources that are used to complete the proposal process. The Five-Steps of the Theories of Constraints Step 1: Identify the organizational bottleneck(s). After reviewing the budgeted funding pipeline for the year, we only received 35% of the funding we expected between January and July. We found that there were grant proposals that we were eligible for that we did not compete for and some of our proposals were rejected because they were late, incomplete or did not meet one or more requirement. Due to fundraising consultants limited working hour for our organization and the variations in processing times and due dates, most of the proposals were being submitted only when the consultant was scheduled to be in the office and they did not review the guidelines for eligibility...

...Explain why this agency and your proposed regulation interest you (briefly). Will this proposed regulation affect you, or the business in which you are working? If so, how? Federal Railroad administration controls the regulation. It interests me because this regulation would increase the safety of individuals. I feel really comfortable and safer since I utilize the rail transportation everyday. There were certain railroad incidents in the past, which cause the public to lose trust and doubt the capability of the railroad employees. Hopefully, the well-designed training program would have the potential to reduce risk in the railroad environment therefore; will reduce the frequency and severity of accidents. 2. Describe the proposal/change. Proposal emphasis on the training of the railroad employees perhaps which might reduce the frequency and severity of certain accidents. FRA is requiring that each employer of one or more safety-related railroad employees (whether the employer is a railroad, contractor, or subcontractor) train and qualify each such employee on the Federal railroad safety laws, regulations, and orders that the employee is required to comply with, as well as any relevant railroad rules and procedures promulgated to implement those Federal railroad safety laws, regulations, and orders. The final rule also requires that the training program developed by each employer be submitted to FRA for approval. FRA is proposing a holistic approach including minimum training...

...Phoenix BSHS 451 Program Design and Proposal Writing Linda N. Latham, MFT October 26, 2010 CECC Evaluation as We Care Foundation Board Member We Care Foundation is in receipt of the grant request for the amount of $5,000. Whereas some of the guidelines for such a request have been followed, there are a few areas that need clarification before We Care can submit funds to the organization. The first item needed is a proof of tax-exempt status as a 501(c) (3) organization. According to the grant proposal policy set up by We Care Foundation for all funds proposals, requests cannot be accepted for capital expenditures, tuition, scholarships, fundraising drives, emergency relief, or endowments. In the budget breakdown section of the proposal, we request a more detailed breakdown in the areas of non-personal and educational equipment. As noted on our request guideline we do not fund any capital expenditures and, we need more clarification on these costs before we can accept the proposal. Credibility The credibility of CECC is also a question that needs to be answered with more clarification. CECC has been around for six years and that is quite an accomplishment. However, are there any other awards or recognitions that CECC may have received after the award from CDBG in 1994? The type of service provided by CECC correlates into the We Care Foundations guidelines. We Care is a foundation that supports...

...Steps to Writing a Grant Proposal Charity Tessitore HSM/270 May 28, 2016 Ruth Hendrick Introduction Funding can be a cause of concern for any organization or program, whether for-profit or not-for-profit. Non-profit organizations and programs rely heavily on the financing from grants. According to "Grants 101” (n.d), “a grant is a way the government funds your ideas and projects to provide public services and stimulate the economy. Grants support critical recovery initiatives, innovative research, and many other programs listed in the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA).” This paper is going to go through the process of writing a grant proposal, using a new program called “Encouraging Families” as an example. Encouraging Families is a new program that is part of the PEACE Domestic Violence Agency. New Program Idea PEACE Domestic Violence Agency’s mission “is to reduce victim trauma, empower survivors, and promote recovery through direct services.” PEACE encourages domestic violence victims to get help and move on. They also help young adults get the education needed to stop the cycle of abuse. PEACE even provides a rehabilitation program for young adults. What it does not do is help those families get the job skills they need. Sometimes families want to be reunited, but have a member in jail and do not know how to go about reuniting. Encouraging Families is a new program that will work with the families, including the member that is incarcerated. The primary...
