Each faculty member is willing to donate time to answer the phones and e-mails, but you will need funds for telephone lines, answering machines, reference books, advertising, and more. You decide to apply for a grant from the H. M. Luce Foundation to fund the project for 1 year. After that, if the hotline is successful, you will either reapply for funds or ask Oscoda County Community College administration to fund the continuing costs. For requests less than $3,000, the foundation requests a simple narrative report explaining and justifying the request.

Part 1:

In your paper, answer the following information-gathering questions:

What is the background of the problem?

What will be the outcome of the project?

Describe the audience for this report and the implications for structuring your report.

Describe how the hotline will work.

What are the advantages of this project?

What will the project cost?

What are the qualifications of those involved?

Part 2 (1 page):

Now, you will need to take the information that has been collected from the information gathering and write a proposal to H. M. Luce Foundation for the costs of the proposed hotline.
