AND this is only the top 40.

What makes you SPECIAL???

What is it about your organization that makes you unique and able to uniquely contribute?

What is it about the population that you serve that makes this a defining issue for this generation or this time in this nation?

Why are you the ‘best organization’ to make a difference?

Who are your friends and collaborators?

Does anybody care what you think or about what you might learn?

What is the POLICY issue that you seek to inform?

What should the new policy be?

Who will you tell?

Who do you know who is a key informant to policymaking?

EVIDENCE of your ability to inform policy? If no evidence, what steps will you use in the future?

Evidence based information to show change and significance?

Benchmarks of success

Benchmarks to show significance

SO…you enrolled people in HIV/AIDS care. But did you get them mental health counselling?

Is substance use disorder a part of the problem in the community? Why does this matter?

Criminal Justice System and Your Community of Change

Is incarceration an issue for the population you seek to serve?

If so, how much does the criminal justice system drain away from more positive programs?

How will your program help to show how to redirect funds flow?

Are those in the criminal justice system a part of your collaborative? Any other unusual suspects?

YOUR STORY OF CHANGE

Can you tell the story in a very few pages without appendices?

Can you find ‘friends’ to whom you can tell your story and who will give you honest feedback that you will accept, if valid?

Have you told your local community newspapers and do they tell your story?

The Written Word - Proposal

Goal ( to include POLICY change)

Objective (who, what, why)

Innovation (Significance of this new approach)

Methodology – Intervention Plan

Evaluation Plan

Policy Impact (public and marketplace policy)

Networking, Networking, Networking

Who do you know to help you open doors?

If you do not know anybody, how will you set about meeting new people who can buy into your dreams?

How will you build your collaborative to include new friends including those that may not totally agree with EVERYTHING that you think and believe.

Sustainbility

Can you tell the prospective funder how you will sustain your work if it is funded? (NOBODY stays with you forever so what is your plan.)

Does your sustainability plan include redirection of funds flow through policy change/practice change?

If you are not around to do the work, what will be the impact on community?

Novel Resources

What will the community learn about as resources as a result of your work?

What new and permanent resources will you leave in the community as a part of your work and how will it be sustained?
