Partnership to Proposal Team Guide | Issue 8 of 8 | PAID
Who is This For
This issue is for anyone who has experienced the gap between "funded" and "functioning."
You did it. The proposal was funded. The partnership that wrote itself into the grant is now supposed to become the partnership that delivers on its promises. But somewhere between the award notification and the first activity, things get complicated.
Partners who were enthusiastic during proposal development are suddenly hard to reach. Timelines that looked reasonable on paper bump into organizational realities. The beautiful co-designed activities need to actually happen with actual people.
This issue is about the transition--the moment where everything you built in Issues 1-7 either comes alive or quietly unravels.
