Grant Proposal: Telling the Family Story

✨ Writing Prompt

Imagine you are writing a grant proposal to secure funding for a genealogy project that aims to uncover the untold stories of a specific family lineage. Your goal is to build tension by illustrating the potential loss of these stories and the impact it has on family history and cultural heritage. Start your proposal with a personal anecdote that captures the emotional weight of uncovering a family's past, then transition to discussing the significance of this research. Highlight what could be lost if funding is not secured, and paint a vivid picture of both the risks and the rewards of this genealogical journey. Be strategic in your use of language to evoke emotional responses from the funding committee.
