Abstract

The following materials are a reflection of the grant writing and seeking processes as experienced through grant writing for Camp Millhouse, Inc., a non-profit organization in South Bend, Indiana. Camp Millhouse is a residential summer camp program dedicated to improving the quality of life of individuals with developmental disabilities. The writings and documents included are the direct result of over eight months of collaboration with Camp Millhouse Executive Director and Director as well as a number of other invaluable individuals assisting in community or academic capacities. The project has resulted in the awarding of monies to Camp Millhouse for construction and operation of an eight-element low ropes course in the amount of $2,500. A proposal for the remaining funds is currently pending and will be decided on March 16, 2010. The ways in which the grant writing process has had a professional, academic, personal and community impact are defined and discussed. Also included are supplemental materials which will assist future beginning grant writers and researchers.
