Fund Raising Project Selection 2
Fund Raising Project Selection
Researching and grading each of the proposal I have ranked them from most valuable to
least desirable for this week’s assingment project.
Project proposal 2: Singing for Smiles
This concept is an important one due to the fact there isn’t always a whole lot of interest
in cleft lip surgical treatment. It simply charges $250 for a surgical procedure which could alter
an infant’s life. The cleft lip is disfiguring and kids with this problem can also have trouble
swallowing and ingesting food. This inspiration complies with all the necessities for the needs
and will rank very high within the need requirements as well. I rated this idea at a 9 and this will
be my decision for most valuable.
Project proposal 1: Hoops for Hope
This idea appears to have all the right tasks set up. The incomes potential appears
marginal and the resume probable to be low also, but I feel it ranks excessive for the amusement
factor, extended awareness for charity and news worth. Downs Syndrome is truly an amazing
charity and will pull in the attention of the community tv. I rated this idea as a 7 overall.
Project proposal 6: Build your own box
This proposal has all the needs for the requirements but does not appear to be resume
worthy and I’m not positive on how much fun it might be to live in a small box for the night.
This idea will boost realization to the movement of homelessness and improve consideration of
the news media so in that regards I ranked this one a 6.
Project proposal 4: Raffle for life
I felt that the lowest producing money volume for this concept will no longer top $500
and no growth in knowledge for its team contributors. This does follow college guidelines

Fund Raising Project Selection 3
however isn’t resume worthy and has low ability for being able to raise awareness, so I ranked
this a 3.
Project proposal 5: Hold’em for hunger
I don’t think that gambling complies with college regulations and has too much
“giveaways” for incomes ability. It simply only has one of the requirements and simply ranks
high for the fun factor. This idea rates a 2.
Project proposal 3: Halo for Heroes
The lowest ranking idea for me is this one. Even though it does comply with college
guidelines and timeline for accomplishment, it ranked bottom for the whole chart except 1which
was for fun, but it would only apply to the people who were playing. The media does not want to
cover game enthusiasts playing and the overall incomes ability will cover the minimal grossing
capacity, so with that understanding I ranked this ideal as a 1.
Conclusion
In this ordered are the options of which project proposal would be ideal and which would
not with an explanation on how I came to these conclusions.

Resources: Fund Raising Project Selection case in Ch. 2 of Project Management: The Managerial Process
Complete the “Assignment” section after reading the Fund-Raising Project Selection case in Ch. 2 of Project Management: The Managerial Process. Make sure you are using the right exercise…this assignment is the one using the projects like “Hoops for Hope, etc.”
Submit a 350-word paper (remember all papers in the class are APA format, need an intro/closing paragraph….word count for all class assignments does not count the intro/closing paragraph or any tables/charts included in the paper….in other words you need 350 words in the paper body).

Within the paper include a completed Project Priority Evaluation form. The text provides a Project Priority Evaluation Form (yes I know it is not editable…so you either need to create your own form….take a “snip-it” of the form and write in your response, etc. I am not looking for the form to be” pretty”….I just need the form with the values you are entering….the values are what I am looking at for grading consideration).

Fund Raising Project Selection Summary
When presented with options to get involved with or take on a company must go through
a process to determine the best option to choose. Choosing the right option is just as important as
completing the project itself so it is important to evaluate using an approved process. At the
completion of the evaluation process there will be a clear priority associated with each option
and give an answer to which option to choose.
Evaluation Results
There are six options that I evaluated to determine the priority of the projects. There were
a certain about assumptions that I needed to draw to get to an evaluation that I could put tangible
answers to. First to be evaluated are the must haves of the project as those are the things that
cannot be compromised. By evaluating the must haves first, I could get a clear picture of the
projects ability to meet the requirements and then I could look at the wants.
The wants are items that would be nice to accomplish but are not necessary to success.
The wants are important in evaluating projects because they can sweeten the options choices
after the musts are met. The projects that meet the must haves may or may not meet the wants
and evaluating the wants can help narrow down the options to help make the decision easier. The
wants are a wish list to meet the mission and goal of the organization while taking on a specific
project. Projects that are meant to raise money for charity are stricter because more money needs
to go to the charity and less money needs to be spent on the actual raising of funds.
Conclusion
The decision to take on a project and the decision of what project to take on is very
important. To make the decision is a process with many steps and many deliverables are needed
to make an informed decision. This document addresses just one of those process steps; the

evaluation process. In the accompanied document, I have ranked the projects based on the musts
and wants to come up with the list of project prioritized. Based on the analysis I placed the
Hoops for Hope in the priority number one space.
