Grant Proposal Narrative

Draft the narrative for this grant application.

Funder and program: [NAME + PROGRAM]
Their stated priorities and scoring criteria:
"""
[PASTE THE RFP LANGUAGE, PRIORITIES, OR RUBRIC]
"""
Word or page limits per section: [LIMITS]

About us: [ORGANIZATION, MISSION, TRACK RECORD, RELEVANT PAST RESULTS WITH NUMBERS]
The problem: [WHO IS AFFECTED, HOW MANY, WHAT DATA WE HAVE]
What we will do: [ACTIVITIES, TIMELINE, WHO DOES THEM]
Budget ask: [AMOUNT + MAIN LINE ITEMS]
What success looks like: [MEASURABLE OUTCOMES]

Write these sections, each within its limit:
1. **Statement of need**: the problem in this specific community or population, with data. Lead with the people, not the organization. Cite the source for every statistic as [SOURCE: what to cite] so I can attach the real citation.
2. **Project description**: what we will do, in what order, by when, and who is responsible. Concrete enough that a reviewer can picture week one.
3. **Goals and measurable outcomes**: each outcome as a number, a population, and a deadline. Distinguish outputs (what we deliver) from outcomes (what changes).
4. **Evaluation plan**: how each outcome is measured, by whom, with what instrument, and how often. Include what we would count as failure.
5. **Organizational capacity**: why us, evidenced by past results rather than adjectives.
6. **Sustainability**: what happens to this work when the grant ends.

Then produce a **criteria map**: a table matching each of the funder's stated criteria to the exact section and sentence that addresses it. Flag any criterion the material does not answer as a gap.

Rules: use only the facts I supplied. Never invent a statistic, a partner organization, a past result, or a citation. Where a number is needed and I did not supply one, write [NEED DATA: what] so I can go find it. Mirror the funder's own vocabulary for their priorities; reviewers score against their language, not ours.
