Find a topic for a proposal and answer the following 3 questions...

1. Identifies the topic and intended audience for your proposal

2. Explains who is affected by this issue and why it matters

3. Explain why you have selected this issue for the project

Ask yourself these questions as you brainstorm topics:

• Does the problem exist? (Do TCC students need more food options? Is this community less appealing without a pool and park to attract families? Do Fort Worth residents have enough access to free mental health and wellness services and information?)
• Who is the specific audience that would have the power to say yes or no to approving your request or investing in your solution? You cannot write to a vague, general audience.
• Is this an issue you are familiar with or passionate about? You have limited time to research, collect data, and formulate your plan, so choose something that works with your existing knowledge base, experience, etc.

DO NOT USE just examples

Example topics from former students:

• A proposal to a local HOA to turn a vacant lot into a community pool and park.
• A proposal to a local hospital board asking the hospital to be the primary sponsor of a community mental health and wellness fair.
