“But if any provide not for his own, and especially for those of his own house, he hath denied
the faith, and is worse than an infidel.” -1 Timothy 5:8

V. INTRODUCTION
The purpose of a concept paper is to lay out the basics of a grant proposal so that
everyone involved in planning and implementation (from your organization or a partner’s)
agrees on what will be in the proposal. This promotes good relationships and helps you get
letters of commitment from your partners, as well.
 
There are also other uses for concept papers. Within your organization, you may use one to
lay out your ideas to administrators and colleagues to decide whether to seek grant funding.
And once you've decided, you may use a concept paper with the board to get approval for
submitting a proposal. With the public, concept papers promote accurate and consistent
communication.

VI. BODY
CONCEPT PAPER
• The purpose is to persuade someone to agree with you.
• Can be a proposed program or tasked to be addressed for the improvement of a system.

6. BUDGET/NEEDS AND REQUESTED SUPPORT

need for financial and people support.
7. BENEFITS AND EXPECTED OUTCOME

8. CONTACT INFORMATION
 This indicates where you can be contacted for information needed. Your address and
contact numbers are necessary.

VII. SUMMARY/CONCLUSION

A concept paper is brief - two pages, three at most - with just enough detail to lay out the
basics of the grant proposal. You're going to identify the applicant, the funder, and give a
contact person for questions, then briefly describe what's going to be in the proposal.
 
Concept papers promote mutual understanding and agreement; they're useful for internal
decision-making; they facilitate consistent communications; and they're a respectful,
professional way to work with others. 

VIII. ASSESSMENT

Situation:

 Assume that you are already in college, taking up your chosen course. You became so
popular that you were chosen as the president of your course batch. The president of the
Central Council instructed you to make a concept paper concerning your plans and
programs for your batch mates. Write a concept paper about your annual program as the
course council president. Align your concept with your field of study or discipline. Follow
the guidelines given below.

 
Guidelines:

 With your groupmates name a program related to the field of study you have chosen
 Take pages 62-63 'A Concept Paper for Peer Monitoring Program in English' as an
example for you to accomplish your group concept paper (introduction, purpose, goal,
method and timeline, budget or support needed, outcome, contact information). Use at
least 3 definition techniques in any part of the paper, highlight the part the techniques
