Kevin Richardson Foundation in South Africa

An executive summary is a brief overview at the beginning of your proposal. It is intended to grab the reader's attention, and summarizes critical information regarding your company overview and upcoming short-term and long-term goals. Ultimately, the executive summary is meant to inform readers of the most important information in your proposal, so they don't have to read it all and can get caught up quickly. Your executive Summary should include: the name, location, and mission of your organization, a description of your organization, including management, advisors, and brief history, the organization’s mission and target population, financial considerations (special projects that might need assistance, etc.).
Project Overview:
Select an organization (scientific research organization, scientific nonprofit, etc.), and an issue item, project, or challenge current to the organization’s mission and need. These selections will create the foundation of the remainder of the term’s work. In this initial post, describe the organization, and explain why you chose it and/or what makes it important to you.
Then, provide a concise, comprehensive summary of the nature of the organization’s work, who the organization is trying to help, the size of the organization, and if it is a local, national, or international org.
Finally, identify a potential theory-based rhetorical strategy for directing the research, analysis and communication you will be doing for this Course Project. Explain why you chose this particular theory for this particular application. Why/how does it match up with the work that the organization is doing, and the particular issue item, project or challenge you’ve defined as the focus for the work you will be doing this term. Use relevant source material to strengthen your claims.
