Project Details

Tell us what your project is all about and what you hope to achieve.

Start by sharing the big idea behind your project - what you’re trying to do and why it’s important. Think about the purpose and the difference it could make.

Then, talk about the results you’re aiming for. What will change or improve because of your project? Try to include things you can measure like how many people will be involved or what kind of impact you expect.

If your project brings the community together or has benefits that will last beyond the project, make sure to mention that too.

Feel free to include examples or targets to help explain your plans. Keep it clear, focused, and in line with what the funding is looking for.
