PROJECT PROPOSAL

I. Introduction
A. Overview

When planning a project there are things that need to be evaluated first to give the
project a good foundation. Project proposals are made in order to secure plans that will help
establish the overall concept of the project. One example of a project proposal is the community
project proposal, where its main goal is to give an impact on communities by executing essential
programs that will benefit the whole community. In addition, project proposals are important
because they ensure the smooth process of establishing programs that will further help and
improve the ways of living of people. Moreover, operational plans are practical plans of
activities of day-to-day tasks required to run a business and cover and often have a one-year
time horizon. The health operational planning process is synchronized with the budgeting
process of the financing entity. This typically means a complete operational plan with budgets
done yearly. Furthermore, community immersion is a strategy that goes beyond acquainting us
with community concerns. Community immersion in NSTP molds and ‘conscientizes’ students to
be socially involved and aware. This allows the students to have an opportunity to discover real-
life situations in communities and to establish rapport and relationships with different people.

IV. Summary
Understanding what a project proposal is, why it’s important to your business and your clients, and how
to approach a project proposal successfully can help you more effectively write and deliver a project
proposal.

What is a Project Proposal?

A project proposal is a document that describes a proposed project and its purpose, outcomes, and the
steps that will be taken to complete the project. Not to be confused with a project contract, which is the
formal agreement between two parties to complete a project, a project proposal’s purpose is to
communicate how a company, team, or individual plan to approach a project.

Why is a Project Proposal Important?

The purpose of a project proposal is to describe services and outcomes from a potential service provider
so decision-makers can compare vendors and pick the best provider for their needs. It should be
considered a sales document that persuades the decision-maker or stakeholder that the prospective
provider has the skills and expertise needed to complete the project to their satisfaction. It should also
set expectations, detail budget and timeline, as well as set expectations for what delivery would look
like. Improved Vendor Comparison, one of the most important purposes of a project proposal is to allow
decision-makers to more objectively compare vendors. Project Understanding, a project proposal
outlines the purpose and scope of a project. Establish Credibility, a project proposal should be seen as a
sales tool that helps establish credibility. Propose an Estimated Timeline & Budget, A project proposal
also proposes a timeline and budget for the project. Set Expectations, a project proposal also sets
expectations for the client relationship. This includes having a mutual understanding of deliverables,
timelines, and budget. Inform Project Planning, a project proposal also helps to inform project planning.
Once the project is approved, this document will be used to finalize timelines and budget for the
contract as well as to complete resource scheduling.
