Summary
This section should include information for those readers who will not read the entire document but who
will need a summary of the proposal. Although this section appears first in the document, it is usually
written last.
The summary should remain on a separate page and not exceed one page.
The summary should contain the following elements:

Brief identification and purpose of your organization: we are trying to bring back the school store and
the reason behind us wanting it back is because we enjoy having snacks within the school that we aren't
able to get during school hours.

The purpose and anticipated end result of this proposal:By the end of the fundraiser we hope that we
can earn enough money to bring the store back.

The type and amount of support requested:Just as many supporters as possible within the school.

The total anticipated budget:$2,000

Other information you deem pertinent: Just the fact that we love the store and we would like to have
good snacks that we love during school hours.

II. Introduction
Introduce your organization here.
It is best to begin by explaining how and why your organization was founded. It is also a good idea to
provide a mission statement so that your readers know who you are and what you do.
Your introduction can include information such as the purpose of your organization, a description of its
activities, a description of its target population, and evidence to show that it is a healthy organization.

In this section, talk about the class:

We would love the store back. With the great snacks and many other foods that we
receive through the store we believe that it would be a great investment. As the
students of this school we want to be able to have snacks that we love during school
hours that we couldn't get earlier before the start of the school day. We also
believe that when the store gets set-up then we begin to make more money to help
with financing other parts of the school such as sports warm-ups, new gymnasium,
and other things that can contribute to the school.
