Grant Writing

Our final writing assignment for NICE will be a group grant writing project. The Grant Writer for NICE, Kerry Foley, has agreed to work with us as we analyze previous NICE grants and work to secure additional funding for the 2016 calendar year. Each group will be assigned a different grant opportunity, and you will work in groups of 4-5 to craft a grant with a specific purpose for a specific organization. Successful grants will have a consistent style and will demonstrate a comprehensive knowledge about the granting organization and NICE's role in fulfilling the mission of each particular fund.

Part 2: Group Evaluation

Rather than write an in depth reflection for this assignment, you still must account for the contributions of you and your peers in a 500-word or less "group evaluation" by providing a brief narrative of each group member's role in the project. Following each description, give yourself and your group members a rating of "excellent," "satisfactory," or "unsatisfactory."

The groups are:

Group 1: Bridgestone Americas Trust Fund

Ashli
Sophie
Tyler
Mitch
Abbey

Group 2: Gannett Foundation

Jacquelyn
Kendall
Anna
Niles

Group 3: Walmart Foundation

Lindsey
