What advice do you have for organizations who don't yet have firm plans for their <br /> projects? <br /> A. It is not always possible to have all of the information you need when planning a new initiative. For <br /> the purposes of this funding opportunity, at minimum you should know the community you want to <br /> target and your plan to engage community members.We advise having the type,duration, and <br /> frequency of your demonstration project in mind; however,you may find in the community engagement <br /> process that your idea will require revisions.This is expected and encouraged. Keep in mind, however, <br /> that your budget template will be scored on its appropriateness, meaning the more you know up front, <br /> the better you will be at getting solid budget numbers. If you are unsure,start by considering the types <br /> of materials, permits, labor,etc.,you might need and the cost associated with each so that you can <br /> justify your budget. <br /> 1 <br />
