WORLD PROPOSAL CHAMPIONSHIPS OverviewThe World Proposal Championships aim to recognize and promote proposal writing excellence and to help fundraisers learn, by example, what it takes to create a winning proposal. In November 2002, Metasoft Systems hosted the first ever World Proposal Championships. The competition was a great success, with hundreds of proposals received from around the world. The second World Proposal Championship launched on September 2007 again with great success and submissions from organizations in several countries, including the United States, Canada, Australia and the United Kingdom. The top proposal by Boat People SOS was awarded the grand prize of $5,000 and the top 100 proposals were included in the online showcase of winning proposals. This year, $20,000 in prizes will be awarded to the top winning proposals. In addition, we will recognize the top proposals in their respective categories and the top 100 proposals will be showcased online for the world to see. Trevor Skillen, President & CEO says “We believe that compelling proposals are the foundation of a successful fundraising effort. Metasoft is pleased to be able to give acknowledgement to the deserving individuals who have written world-class proposals for their organizations. In addition, the contest’s resulting showcase of proposals will become a valuable reference tool for fundraisers. While FoundationSearch and BIG Online illuminate funding opportunities for grant-seekers, the World Proposal Championships gives them access to exemplary grant-writing skill." Who Can Enter? Any proposal that has successfully secured a grant for a non-for-profit or charitable organization within the last two years from a foundation, corporation or government body is eligible for submission. An organization may submit an unlimited number of proposals, however only one prize will be awarded per organization.
