Then use the guidelines in the readings to explain the main argument of the article, the type of appeals used (logos, pathos, ethos), whether the author is credible, and the probable audience. b.

Should the reader do something? Explain whether you believe the article is important to those who are interested in the subject and why.

Source usage: The only source used for Essay Three should be the article you are working with. Each time you refer to a specific part of the article or quote from it, cite the source following MLA style. Incorporate the source material into your own writing smoothly, taking care that the entire sentence is coherent and is punctuated correctly. Before quoting the source, explain the context for the reader. Then provide the quotation, incorporating the most relevant portion of the source into your own sentence. Finally, comment on the quotation so that the reader understands why it was important for you to use that information.

Documentation format: Use MLA style. See the textbook or Purdue’s OWL MLA help with in-text citation and Works Cited. The last page of the document should be a Work Cited page listing the article in MLA style.

Appropriate article: Use the assigned article [or one of the specified articles]

Summary: The summary should express, in your own words, the main ideas of the article. It should not contain details to support the main ideas.

Quality of writing: Sentences should be clear and concise, using language appropriate to the assignment. One idea should flow logically into the next. Claims should be supported with evidence, whether from a source or your own fine reasoning.

Grammar, punctuation: Use standard grammar, punctuation, and spelling. Do not use comma splices, run-on sentences, or sentence fragments.

MLA style, format: Use the 12 point Times New Roman font and double-spacing. Use parenthetical documentation like this (Smith 17). The last page of the document should be a Works Cited page that lists the source in MLA style, using double spacing and the hanging indent. See the textbook or the online Purdue OWL for more information.

Background: Technology is key to data management and reporting, and Excel is an indispensible tool which allows for the manipulation of data and complex data analysis. This assignment assumes you have a basic working knowledge of Excel and will explore more advanced features that will greatly expand your ability to utilize spreadsheets in the context of HR administration.

Writing-a-5-page-grant-proposal-n-the-nonprofit-that-you-are-using-for-your-fundraising-projec

/in /by

In this assignment, you’ll prepare the narrative of a grant proposal. This assignment should be based on the nonprofit that you are using for your fundraising project. You will select a program or project to concentrate on for this proposal.

Using the research techniques discussed in this week’s lecture, find an appropriate private foundation that you can “apply to” for this assignment. You will use this foundation’s interests to tailor the content of your proposal; however, everyone should use the Common Grant Application guidelines provided by the Philanthropy Network of Greater Philadelphia to structure your grant (Common Grant Application.docView in a new window). This way, you will all be working in the same structure and can better help each other.

Please follow these basic guidelines:

  • Under no circumstances should the narrative exceed five pages. The Common Application guidelines limit you to three pages, but I will accept a five page narrative for the purposes of this assignment. If you submit something longer than five pages, I will act like a program officer and refuse to read it since you have stepped outside my guidelines. Please use a 12 point font, preferably one that is easy to read.
  • Focus your proposal on a program or project, rather than asking for operating support.
  • You do not need to fill out the cover sheet or provide attachments; just write the narrative.
  • You do not need to prepare a budget for this assignment (since not all of you have yet had a class on this topic). I want you to concentrate on writing the best narrative you can.
  • Focus on page 4 of the guidelines — that’s where you will find the instructions most relevant to our assignment.

While you are using the Common Application, I will be looking for evidence that you have tailored your application to your selected foundation’s interests. Please place a cover page on your grant that states the foundation you have chosen and provides a link to its website. Provide one or two sentences that explain why you think this foundation is a good match for your organization.

Please remember: under no circumstances should you use text written by anyone else in this grant proposal. Be especially careful not to plagiarize organizational or program descriptions from your nonprofit’s website or printed materials. I recognize that in the “real world,” grants are often written collaboratively. This is an academic assignment, and you are being assessed on your ability to write about your organization. Therefore, you must write everything yourself.

Please submit Word docs only. Thanks.

Should you have any questions about your assignment, please feel free to post them. I have created a Q&A thread specifically for this assignment.

The organization I am working on this semester is The Atlanta Mission.
