Prioritized Awards Plan.

Turn your finding into an ordered plan that names your first guide, sequences the rest in the order these awards work, and dates your first move, or records an honest decision to pursue other money.

The final step of the diagnostic, once you have your finding and your realism verdict.

Your route from the finding. My finding is (choosing / winning / deployment)

That sends me first to (Choose Which Awards to Pursue / Win the Award / Deploy Against Scope and Report)

The sequence, if you have more than one

List the guides in this order: choose first, then win, then deploy and report. You cannot win an award you have not chosen, or deploy one you have not won.

Routes to add, or the honest not-now

If this is true	Add this route	Yes / no
Not realistic now	Individual giving and grants, and building civic relationships over time

The pursuit will involve lobbying or a ballot campaign	Get a nonprofit attorney and the compliance work
