WHAT WE NEED YOUR HELP WITH
Give actionable notes to create a reusable, modern proposal template primarily layout guidance, plus content tips on showcasing impact, pricing, and credibility to HR leads.
OUR SPECIFIC QUESTIONS
Structure & Sections: Which elements/sections drive higher acceptance rates?
Design Refresh: Does design need a full refresh or subtle upgrades, and what exactly should we brief our designer to do?
Proof & Pricing: How should we showcase impact, pricing, and credibility to corporate HR leads?
Professionalism Check: Is the current template professional enough for large-corporate HR/procurement expectations?
WHERE WE ARE TODAY
Sweet Life is a 10-year-old NPO and SA’s largest online diabetes community
Aside from a very simple design tweak (adding borders), we haven’t changed our proposal template in years.
Our internal designer can assist, but needs a clear brief and we’re too close to the current template to brief well.
We’re preparing a 90-minute workplace-diabetes training proposal for HR execs at large corporations and worry the current template lacks polish for that target.
HOW YOUR HELP WILL IMPACT US
A more compelling template could unlock new corporate partnerships and funding opportunities, extending runway before the next redesign.
THE RIGHT VOLUNTEER
