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?
