## About

# Grant Proposal

## What this skill does
Guides you through writing a complete, fundable grant proposal section by section. It collects key details about your organization, the funding opportunity, and the proposed program, then produces a polished proposal with a compelling need statement, clear program description, measurable objectives, an evaluation plan, and a justified budget narrative.

## How to invoke
/grant-proposal [funder name or program area]

## Workflow steps

### Step 1 — Gather context
Ask the user for: organization name and mission, funder name and focus area, requested amount, program or project name, target population, geographic service area, and any known funder priorities or restrictions.

### Step 2 — Draft the need statement
Write a 2–4 paragraph statement of need that uses data and local context to establish the problem, demonstrates the gap in current services, and connects directly to the funder's priorities.

### Step 3 — Write program description and goals
Describe the proposed program: activities, timeline, staffing, and partnerships. State 2–4 SMART goals and 4–8 measurable objectives tied to outcomes the funder cares about.

### Step 4 — Build the evaluation plan
Outline how success will be measured: data collection methods, frequency, who is responsible, and how findings will be used for learning and reporting.

### Step 5 — Write the budget narrative
Justify each major line item (personnel, fringe, supplies, contractual, indirect) with clear rationale. Note any cost-share or matching funds. Flag items that may require funder pre-approval.

## Example outputs
A 4–6 page narrative proposal ready for final review, with clearly labeled sections, data citations placeholders, and a prose budget narrative that mirrors the line-item budget.
