Directions: Thank you for taking the time to fill out the Foundation Resource<br />
Outline. The information that you provide will be shared with potential group<br />
members who are students from the PA 335 Grantwriting course. It is our hope<br />
that the information generated will help form the basis for a sound fund development<br />
plan. Please feel free to use as much space as needed.<br />
1. What is your organization’s name What is their mission<br />
2. What is the main problem or challenge that the organization is addressing<br />
Basically, what need or gap is going unfulfilled in the community It is<br />
important that you find well-chosen statistics that portray the human side<br />
of the community problem and exhibit geographic sensitivity (i.e., why the<br />
need is greater here than elsewhere).<br />

need In addition, generate a description of the approach that the organization<br />
hopes to employ in resolving the problem/need.<br />
a. What are the organization’s goals (i.e., broadly defined) for this solution<br />
b. What measurable objectives (i.e., observable and capable of being documented)<br />
have been or could be delineated for this solution<br />
c. Has the organization tracked any measurable outcomes related to their<br />
solution(s) If so, what kind or type (e.g., quantitative or qualitative)<br />
For example, how many individuals have registered to vote (output) and a<br />
follow-up of how many actually voted in a subsequent election (outcome)<br />
d. What will be the short-, intermediate-, and/or long-term impacts from<br />
this program and its commitment to community needs<br />
4. What makes your organization the best choice or option for fulfilling the<br />
community’s need Here is where you will talk about the uniqueness of your<br />
organization and a few of its successes or landmarks.<br />
