Okay, so for the umpteenth time I have revised what I am going to do. In a nutshell, here it is:
1) create a refrence guide that clearly and easily explains what grants are and how and why they are beneficial to a non-profit organization; 2) use that guide to locate a specific grant; 3) create another reference guide that focuses on the actual steps that are needed to write a grant proposal, as well as some tips for doing so; and 4) write a successful grant using the guides. In doing this I will have created two guides that Family Connections could use to train someone who knew nothing about grants into someone who was a proficient grant writer.

Sticking around after class was by far the best thing I could have done because I feel as though I have finally pin-pointed exactly what I want to do and I suppose more importantly, how I want to do it. I have already started researching grants using a variety of sources and I will continue to do so to compile the tips section. I now need to start focusing on grant writing for not-for-profit organizations, locating grants, and other such materials that I now need to start organizing in some fashion. I am excited to finally have figured out what it is I am going to do.
