Plans, Not Just Visions. To be entrusted with public funds to serve the needy, you need specific plans for how you will help families overcome their problems.
Faith is essential but no substitute for plans.
Specify outcomes and demonstrate how your program will produce them. Don't Chase Money. You have a right to compete for funding to provide services. Just be sure that the funds will help you carry out what you know how to do well. Don't be tempted to start a new program just because money is available for it.
