PROJECT CLINIC
From Idea to Impact: Developing Proposals That Make Change PossibleMany organizations have powerful ideas for change but struggle to articulate them in grounded projects. Project Clinic is an iterative laboratory where we collaboratively transform nascent concepts into well-structured proposals that clearly communicate purpose, methodology, and transformative potential.
For whom: Organizations developing proposals for social change projects who want clarity, rigor, and authentic voice.
Iterative Approach:
Instead of linear steps, we work in deepening cycles:
- Clarify: What change are you making? For whom? Why does it matter?
- Structure: Build your theory of change and logical framework
- Integrate: Weave together voices, evidence, and narrative
- Strengthen: Refine methodology, evaluation, and budget alignment
- Polish: Ensure coherence, clarity, and compelling communication
Each cycle includes collaborative workshops, individual coaching, and peer feedback.
What you gain:
- A complete proposal with clear theory of change, rigorous methodology, and compelling narrative
- Skills and confidence to develop future proposals independently
- A peer network that understands proposal development challenges
Format: 3-month cohorts (3-5 organizations). Weekly 2-hour collaborative sessions, individual coaching between meetings, peer review exchange.
