Grant Review and Evaluation
Nonprofit organizations prepare grant proposals based on the eligibility requirements, and guidelines set forth by grantors to fund various programs. The key to winning grants is to ensure the proposal includes important information about the program goals and objectives, the organizational background, and community needs among other factors. If the organization is not successful in outlining a roadmap of how the program will look for the grantor it is unlikely the agency will secure the grant. The We Care Foundation provides grants to religious woman in the United States for special projects in communities. The Cebola Early Childhood Center provides services within the community that minimizes the negativity of isolation for Hispanic Children in Northern New Mexico. The proceeding evaluation is the result of an analysis of the major components within the Cebola Early Childhood Center grant proposal submitted to the We Care Foundation to determine if the information is compelling enough to win the grant (Carlson, 2002).

The organization is in its sixth year, is established as a good investment and credible agency, received an award to build a Cebola Early childhood facility to continue with the organizational mission of minimizing the negative affect of isolation and poverty on the target population. The staff is well-trained, the Program Director, Becky Smith is a lifelong community resident, possess a CDA license, and qualified to run the program. The supervisors that manage the program are part of the Indigenous culture, have extensive child development training, and recently acquired CDA degrees.
