The Proposal Summary should be about one paragraph of 1-3 sentences and should

during which the funds will support the project, the goals of the project, how they will be
achieved, how success or failure will be measured, what services you promise to deliver
to what population and what results you expect to bring about. A useful structure is to
break the project down into component goals. Use each goal as its own heading and
under each goal heading, list and describe the activities that will be funded to achieve
