Student post down below:

The Boys and Girls Clubs of America, Delaware is seeking funds for a violence prevention program. Here is a developed table of contents for the grant proposal along with the estimated number of pages needed for each section. You will want to activate your support people and prepare your home and work environment to best support you. Plan to have someone proofread and edit your proposal. Corporations are likely to view proposals favorably if they meet their own internal needs or promote the corporate image in the community. The proposal carries the expression of community need to the funder, and if successful, results in a contract, a grant-in aid, or, simply, a grant (Coley and Scheinberg, 2017). Working on a proposal requires many hours, patience, and dedication until the proposal is ready for submission.
