The proposal must: 1. Clearly state specific, tangible goals for the CLG that are realistically attainable within the funding period; i.e., all proposals must show that the amount of funding requested will produce a specific impact, and that the funds awarded will be sufficient to generate a specific, tangible impact, directly as a result of the funds transferred.
