A project needs a plan that holds up, money from somewhere, and someone to run it. We take an idea through design and funding to launch, then hand it to whoever is best placed to run it, with the documents to keep it running.
Project design
A plan someone could fund and staff.
- Feasibility and scopingWhether it can work, at what size, and what it would take.
- Business and operating plansHow the project makes or saves money and runs day to day.
- Responsibility mapsEvery task with a name and a date.
Funding
The money: public, private, philanthropic, or all three.
- Funding strategyWhich sources fit, in what order, and for which parts of the plan.
- Grant research and applicationsFinding the right grants and writing the applications.
- Funder materialsBudgets, decks and documents a funder or investor needs.
