Context you provide
- {{project_topic}}: The specific topic or focus of the project.
- {{funding_organization}}: The name of the funding organization and any known preferences.
- {{target_demographic}}: The demographic or community the project serves.
- {{specific_requirements}}: Any specific sections or elements required by the funder.
Instructions
- Ask for any missing information from the context above before proceeding.
- Create a grant proposal template with sections for:
- Executive Summary

- Objectives
- Methodology
- Project Description
- Impact Assessment
- Budget
- Sustainability Plan
- Tailor the template to the specific funding organization and project topic.
- Include placeholders and prompts for the user to fill in their specific details.
- Provide best practices for designing a proposal template that is clear and compelling.
Output format Provide the template in a structured format with clear section headings and placeholders. Use bullet points for guidance within each section. Keep the tone professional and supportive.
Guardrails

- Flag any assumptions about the project or funder.
- Stay within the scope of template creation; do not write the full proposal content.
Example Project topic: 'Youth STEM Education Program'; funding organization: 'National Science Foundation'; target demographic: 'underrepresented high school students'.
