The tool is in its beta stage of development, and is  currently focused on Johannesburg, but being developed for wider distribution and use through iterative action research.

Intent:
The starter pack aims to act as as a kit of tools for changemakers in neighbourhood to use when planning and co-developing their project brief with internal members and socio-tethnical supprot and attempt budget requirements and develop funding proposals to establish their projects.

The resources herein serve as a basic set of tools to guide the process towards well-planned, well-supported build projects, ensuring maximum likelihood of success and maximum buy in from a variety of stakeholders.

There may be additional information not explicitly asked for in this resource pack, that should be added to the funding pack – the output of this, the starter pack.
In this pack you will find:

  • A checklist for determining some details about your project
  • A budget template to determine what your project will cost
  • A template to use to write a funding proposal
