The Change Architect / TCAA - AI for Grants, Proposals, and Donor Readiness public assignment preview

Proposal Improvement Package

This public assignment brief shows the shape of the Level 2 practical task. It is a preview only. Paid enrollment, scoring, admin review, and certificate issue remain separate and must be handled through the private learner workflow.

Scenario: A local NGO is preparing a donor proposal for a 12-month community resilience project. The team wants to use AI to analyze the call, improve the narrative, check the logframe, and prepare a budget narrative, but leadership wants a method that protects evidence quality and avoids exaggerated claims.

Learner Task

  1. Create a donor-call analysis brief with eligibility, deadlines, priorities, compliance rules, budget rules, and scoring hints.
  2. Write an evidence boundary note that separates verified facts, assumptions, missing evidence, and data that must not be invented.
  3. Improve a short problem statement without adding unsupported statistics or claims.
  4. Review a theory of change or logframe for logic gaps, weak indicators, unrealistic targets, and missing assumptions.
  5. Review a budget narrative for alignment with activities, staffing, procurement, value for money, and donor language.
  6. Create a final proposal quality gate covering compliance, evidence, safeguarding, data protection, localization, and AI-use review.
