Proposals should be 3-5 pages and address the following topics. Incorporation of graphics/images are encouraged but not required.
- Key Club history: Provide a general history of Key Club at your school, when it began and a brief summary of past projects.
- Community need: Explain why your idea will benefit your school/community. What problem(s) are you addressing and how will your proposal resolve the issue?
- Financial need: How will your club use the $1,000 Earlham grant to put your plan into action?
Prize: $1000 cash grants will be awarded for the top five proposals based on creativity, thoroughness and presentation.
