My group decided that we would base our group proposal on the charity Dress for Success. Dress for Success focuses on providing the necessary tools for disadvantage women to obtain jobs.  Some of the things they provide are professional attire, career development tools and a network of support.  The people that benefit the most from this charity are underprivileged women from underdeveloped neighborhoods that were never given a chance and now have a chance to succeed in life. This charity is important because it helps the vast minority. It is important to others because it helps them help themselves.

Our plan to obtain funding from Echoing Green revolves around the ideas and goals of this charity.  The plan is to setup a place in South Bronx. It will be near a subway station for easy accessibility. The primary target of this location is the people surrounding the area. The funding will be used to setup this location. Eventually, this location will be self-sustaining through donations from successful clients.

Overall, this charity seeks to solve a social need.

My advice would be to rehearse all presentations several times before presenting to your target audience. If presenting with a group, smooth transitions are essential to a good presentation. Poor transitions distract the audience from the group’s overall message.

For those with issues with written communication, I would recommend seeking professional help. Enrolling in college courses or continuing education courses are two examples of professional help courses.

The group has discussed the assignment in detail. We have allocated the workload equally across all group members. Each member volunteered to work on a specific section. After assigning sections, the group discussed the flow of the presentation and content expectations.
