Grant Boot Camp Ritzville
Horizons Teams:
It is important that each community recruit a TEAM of 3-4 people to attend together and share this experience. History shows that it’s hard to process all this information and then share it in your community. So try your very best and work with your coach and Leadership Team to identify and recruit a solid team. And, you MUST stay the entire time.
Horizons Projects:
Each ‘team’ will be allowed to submit 1 project idea for the entire group’s consideration. Working groups will be formed to write a grant proposal of the selected project ideas. Your submission should be typed and copied (50 copies please) on one sided paper and it should include a summary description of the project need and idea, your potential partners, the approximate cost and any possible funding sources.
