Who is the target audience for this proposal? The ABC Foundation
What are the expectations of this grant? The grant proposal is prepared
by Orchard Middle School in
Orchard with the aim of seeking
a grant to expand the reading
program which targets students
who are in need. The project
expects to increase the reading
skills of students at risk of using
the same classrooms, textbooks
and other reading materials. The
program therefore seeks a grant
of $16,504 for use in training
staff and purchasing software
and hardware required by the
students.
Are the objectives well defined? Why or why not? NO. The proposal indicates
training of staff as one of the

GRANT PROPOSAL 3
expectations of the grant but the
same does not appear in the
objectives. The objectives of the
grant does not highlight how the
staff will be trained nor does it
justify the need for offering
additional training to staff. The
first objective is unrealistic.
Increasing the reading speed of
a student with reading disability
by two is very difficult given
the duration within which the
objective is to be accomplished.
Furthermore, the objective
number four is not well
described because it talks about
students staying in regular
classes with their peers.
Improving reading skills does
not mean the end of learning
disability. Therefore, if the
students join regular classes
they will continue facing same

challenges.
What are the strengths of the grant proposal? What makes
this proposal “good”?
One of the strengths of the
proposal grant is the statement
of the problem. The statement
of the problem clearly describes
the problems that the project is
attempting to solve (Treem et
al., 2018). The statement of the
problem is also short and
precise and hence a person
reading the report can
understand the need for the
project without going through
the entire report (Rothstein,
2019). The statement indicates
the number of students in the
school and describes the
challenges faced by these
students. The statement also
explains the possible
repercussion in case Orchard
Middle School is not able to
secure the required funding.
