Let’s break down the steps to creating your project.

Profile
Personal information. Name, Date of birth, Gender, Marital status, Contact information, Email, Phone, Address
Personal background. Please tell us about yourself, and your hopes and dreams.
Describe your community. Briefly describe your neighborhood or community setting.

Step 1: Title
“Start with a clear and compelling title that captures your project’s essence. For example,
‘Pages of Wonder: Monthly Reading for Children’ is a project aimed at fostering literacy and imagination among children.
A good title should be simple, memorable, and reflect the heart of your vision."

Step 2: Summary
"Next, write a simple summary, just two or three sentences. This summary should outline the core idea of your project, its purpose, and who it aims to help.
For instance: ‘Pages of Wonder will provide books, reading mentors, and interactive sessions to inspire a love for reading and improve literacy among children.’
A strong summary sets the stage for the rest of your project plan."
(Informal statement. For example, ‘I thought of this Project because I love children and want to help them learn about…’ Or just repeat something from your Summary.)

Step 3: Problem
"Define the problem your project addresses. Be specific and clear about the challenge you want to solve.
For ‘Pages of Wonder,’ the problem is that many children lack access to books and reading programs, limiting their literacy and imagination. "Pages of Wonder" will provide books, reading mentors, and interactive sessions to foster a love for reading and improve literacy.
By clearly stating the problem, you highlight the importance and urgency of your project."

Step 4: Image
Now, and an image – a photo or picture of your Project. Keep in mind that you can change or edit any of these fields at any time. But an image is needed to get started.

Step 5: Additional fields
Select the Social Issue and Specific Type of your Project. Then click Submit. Congratulations! You have successfully entered the Project. But it is Inactive and will remain Inactive until you complete the additional steps.

Step 2: Goals
To continue developing your Project and make it Active you have to fill in the additional Steps. Begin by looking for the Edit Project link on your Project page, and click ‘Edit Overview and Details’. Now, fill in the section called ‘Goals’.
"Outline your goals. Goals help you focus and measure your progress.
For example, This sample Project hosts monthly reading sessions with storytelling and creative activities. Steps include securing a venue, partnering with schools, recruiting volunteers, and procuring books. Teachers, parents, and volunteers will support, with volunteers helping organize and run sessions.
Clearly defined goals give your project direction and purpose."

Step 3: Plan
How will the Project work? What will you do? List the steps needs. be as specific as possible. How will the grant funds be used?
Next, fill in the section called ‘Plan.’ The Plan is a detailed program that explains what you will do. Break your project into manageable steps. For example:
• Month 1: Plan and recruit volunteers.
• Month 2: Purchase materials and promote the project.
• Months 3-12: Host monthly sessions.
Your plan should include timelines, responsibilities, and specific actions. A well-structured plan ensures your project stays on track

Step 4: Needs and Funds
Needs & Funds. What material and financial resources will you need?
Talk about what you think you will need, in terms of money or other resources. What is needed to make your project successful? Transparency in your budget builds trust and encourages support.
For ‘Pages of Wonder,’ Required resources include books, art supplies, snacks, promotional materials, and venue fees (if needed).
Funds will be allocated monthly to support smooth operations and adapt to project needs. In addition to the initial Stipend, there is a possibility you might get more money by finding Supporters who visit the website, or also possibly from visitors to your Project during the Reality Tours we are creating.
Think about creative ways you might get the help you need, including donations, partnerships, and other creative possibilities.

Step 5: Vision
What results do you expect to see? What timeline do you have for thisw?
The final step is to enter your Vision for the project. You can share your dreams for how the Project can make your life better and also the life of the community.
For example, in my Project, I am looking forward to seeing how “Children will develop improved literacy skills, greater creativity, and a love for reading. And to create a sustainable program that continues to benefit children, expands to include more participants, and serves as a model for other communities.
A strong vision motivates others to join and support your cause."
Feel free to enter both your immediate, short-term hopes and dreams, and your long-term Vision.
