...PEACE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AGENCY GRANT PROPOSAL Albert McCrae September 13, 2015 Amy Tardy Overview PEACE Domestic Violence Agency came about as the result of a friend that came to office after an abusive incident occurred in their home. After discussing the length of time the altercations had been happening, it was suggested that my friend get professional help. Being a guidance counselor, some phone calls were made and there was no type of shelter available nearby that would take my friend and her two small children in. They suggested she contact relatives to help. In this case my friend has no relatives nearby and was on her own. I decided to take her in until we could figure out what to do. In checking into what help was available in our urban area, the nearest shelter for women was over 50 miles away. Since my friend was working full time and could not commute that distance, it was agreed that she would stay with me until she could save funds to move out on her own. A lawyer was obtained and since the couple was unmarried, the relationship was dissolved eventually with visitation rights for the father a single weekend a month in a public place (mall, children’s play center, etc.) with a social worker nearby because of the violent tendencies of the father (Genesis Women’s Shelter, 2009). After going through this difficult and distressing situation with my friend, I decided to return to school and work on a degree in this area. Soon...

...Motivational Program Proposal Shannon Stephens PSY 201 August 19, 2013 Cassidy Hawf M.S. Motivational Program Proposal PERFECT ATTENDENCE AWARD My plan is being built for my eight year old and we are striving for the PERFECT ATTENDENCE AWARD. (Stephens, Aug18, 2013) This program will be extrinsic in nature as my daughter responds very well to monetary and tangible rewards. (Feldman, Jan 7, 2009) Last year she was missing 9 days a quarter and was tardy as many if not more times. In our school system three tardies equal one day absent. I have always paid her and her cousins for their grades. This was a wonderful motivational tool, they could not wait for their report cards to come out so they could call me and say “Aunt NaNa, you owe me this many dollars.” I would say “Awesome I am going to the poor house with all of you getting these A’s and B’s!” We would laugh and I would write them a check and mail it out to them. There was another stipulation to receiving this money, they are all required to save half of their grades money, and they can spend the rest as they see fit. My oldest Kristian was raised under the same system and when he turned 16 he had enough money in his savings to purchase his first used car and pay for the insurance, so as you can see there is a method to my compensation program.( August 2013 ) I am hoping that using this same system for attendance will indeed yield the same results. (Feldman, Jan 7, 2009) I think for every quarter she is at...

...Program Solution Proposal PRG 211 Date: 11/28/2011 Introduction Unit 121 has a military flag football team here at Yongsan-Garrison located in Seoul South Korea. This is part of a base flag football team that maintains scores and a fairly accurate account of schedules, wins and losses. The football league is made up of several units throughout the military installation and neighboring bases and players mostly volunteer. Although all units do not have a team the ones that were able to organize a team comprised 16 individual teams. Problem The teams are cleared to have uniforms purchased at their own expense but other equipment is supplied from military recreation and its equipment manager. This equipment includes balls, field markings, scoreboard, flags and uniforms for teams that aren’t equipped. Military recreation also supplies the referees and other miscellaneous items used for game play. The equipment manager is accountable for supplying the equipment as well as scheduling and keeping tally of the wins and losses of the teams. Yearly equipment is lost, damaged or missing of some sort and new equipment must be ordered to satisfy demand. This means ordering from several locations to find the best price as well as supplies for the military. Ordering equipment from various sources means equipment does not always reach military recreation on-time. There has been an instance where equipment was not readily available for players and the referees would...

...Grant Proposals It doesn’t matter if the business is just an agency, organization, for profit or non-profit they need money to operate. Profit companies focus on getting their funding through revenues and interest-bearing loans. Non-profit companies depend on grants, loans, and public generosity. It is a must to understand that non-profit agencies are businesses too and they also need a way to pay for their expenses. Writing grants is the way an agency finds funding. Either an employee professional grant writer or having administrative personnel to write the proposals, they then submit them for review to potential donors. Writing grants proposals is far from an easy to deal with. There are deadlines, awareness of what programs a funder is looking to invest their time and money into. Details for the application are an important part to writing a grant. Some are short and don’t require much information, while others require detailed description of the program. This is the grant writer’s priority to make sure that it meets requirement and all the information that is needed is there. The primary point to a proposal is that is to get their program out there and to make it clear and honest picture of the organization project for those funding and in general. The writer must convince the review committee that their program is the best to choose. Grant proposals are the entrance to a organization, and creative writing can either win the committee over or break the deal. The information...

...Date: 2/18/2014 To: Heathcot-Lynn Foundation Board of Directors Subject: Overall Review and Funding Decisions of Proposals The Heathcot-Lynn Foundation has been an innovator in the health and safety sector for many years. Due to the popularity of this foundation the amount of proposals received is astronomical. In a perfect scenario, funding could be given to every proposal, seeing as how perfect scenarios are almost impossible to come by some tough decisions need to be made. My team and I have given much thought to the $3000 we can allocate across the four different proposals. Procedures The most important part for every member on our team to understand is what a good proposal looks like, and what it takes for an idea to be funded. After our team understood that idea they were able to analyze each proposal individually, so individual opinions could be formed to enable constructive input in the larger group meeting. Keeping in mind the evaluation criteria Heathcot-Lynn provided us; need for project, goal, project approach, cost, and impact our team got down to work collaboratively. Findings The first proposal submitted by the Skyline Coalition comes to us with not just one issue, but two. Right away it is clear to understand the need for, and goals of this project. The first problem arises when looking at the project approach criteria. The proposal doesn’t say how they plan on sustaining the prescription distribution beyond the three month time frame funding would...

...Exchanges With Industry Before Receipt of Proposals (4-4) Part 15 of the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) “prescribes [the] policies and procedures governing competitive and noncompetitive negotiated acquisitions.” One component of negotiated acquisitions that occurs early in the acquisition process is the solicitation of proposals. FAR 15.201, titled, “Exchanges with Industry before Receipt of Proposals,” regulates the type and manner of communications, also sometimes referred to as exchanges, which can – and cannot – take place between the Government and potential suppliers prior to the receipt of a potential supplier’s proposal and the subsequent award of a contract. This paper will address a few of the various types and formats of exchanges that might occur between the Government and potential suppliers prior to the Government’s receipt of proposals, and the manner in which some of these exchanges are to occur; some of the legal, regulatory, and logistical considerations that a Program Manager, Contracting Officer, or other Government participant in the acquisition process might need to be mindful of when conducting discussions; and the diligence and care that must be utilized by the Government team members when conducting exchanges with potential suppliers before the receipt of proposals in order to avoid issues that may arise later in the procurement process. Exchanges of information can take place either before, after, or both before and after the official...

Describe the proposal/change. Proposal emphasis on the training of the railroad employees perhaps which might reduce the frequency and severity of certain accidents.
