Grant Proposal Tension Building Exercise

✨ Writing Prompt

Imagine you are writing a grant proposal for a community arts program aimed at decreasing youth violence through creative expression. Your task is to craft a section of the proposal that builds tension effectively. Begin by presenting a compelling narrative regarding the current challenges in your community related to youth violence and the limited access to arts programs. Use statistics and personal anecdotes to emphasize the urgency of the situation. Then, transition into the potential benefits of your program, ensuring there's a clear emotional pull that highlights what is at stake if funding is not secured. Aim for a tone that is both alarming and hopeful, motivating the funders to see the importance of acting now.
