What do you expect to achieve when your project is completed? Outstanding projects are those that educate students about water resources issues, provide opportunities to learn through doing, and involve students, parents and community members in measurable activities that lead to protection of water resources in your area.
A project should be planned in a logical progression from beginning to end, indicating that you have the ability to successfully complete the proposed activities.
This includes not only innovative project ideas but also creative, cost-effective methods of keeping expenses low.
It is important that your project be a community effort in which volunteers become involved in organizing and implementing the project. Such projects will receive preference.
Your proposal should state the approximate number of people you expect to benefit from the project. Special consideration will be given to cost-effective projects.
Show how you will measure success and explain how student learning and volunteer/community participant learning will be measured.
Your proposal should demonstrate an understanding of at least one of the SWFWMD’s four areas of responsibility: flood protection, natural systems, water supply and water quality.
