STEP #2: YOUR IDEA MUST ADDRESS THE FOLLOWING

The big idea should be original and not a repetition of existing projects or ideas. It should bring a fresh perspective or approach to addressing a challenge within the sport of archery.
The idea should be practical and attainable within the proposed timeline and budget. The applicant should demonstrate that they have the necessary skills, resources, and expertise to carry out the project.
The idea should have the potential to make a significant positive impact. This could be measured in terms of the number of people benefiting, the extent of change brought about, or the potential for long-term sustainable change.
The budget should be realistic and justifiable. All costs should be accounted for and there should be a clear plan for how funds will be used.
There should be a clear plan for how the success of the project will be measured. This could include both quantitative measures (e.g., number of people served) and qualitative measures (e.g., testimonials, case studies).
The project should have a plan for sustainability beyond the term of this grant. This may involve creating additional partnerships, collaborating with others, or engaging the community.
