METHOD

How Prastav builds a proposal

Prastav follows the method an experienced practitioner would: understand the ask, ground it in evidence, design the intervention logic, cost it honestly, then write it as one connected argument. You stay in control at every step.

A 30-second walk-through: sign up, describe your project, review the draft, finalise and download.

Three ways in

01
Start from your idea
Describe your project, or let Prastav suggest approaches grounded in your organisation's work. Attach a baseline study and it builds on your own data.
02
Respond to an RFP
Paste the donor's call. Prastav reads it, checks your eligibility, follows the prescribed format, and asks only what the RFP leaves open.
03
Improve a draft
Upload a proposal you have already written. Prastav diagnoses it against a fundable standard, corrects weak evidence, and rebuilds a stronger version.

What happens, step by step

  1. 1
    Tell us what you have
    An idea, a donor's RFP, or a draft you wrote. Add your organisation profile once, and attach any baseline data or reports.
  2. 2
    Answer only what's missing
    Prastav reads everything you gave it and asks only the questions it cannot answer itself.
  3. 3
    Evidence is gathered
    It researches authoritative sources for your geography and theme, and cites them. Figures it cannot source are flagged, never invented.
  4. 4
    The proposal is designed and written
    Problem analysis, objective, results framework, activities, risks, sustainability and a costed budget, composed as one argument.
  5. 5
    You review section by section
    Read the full draft, ask for changes in plain words, and adjust budget rates to your own.
  6. 6
    Finalise and download
    Get a formatted PDF, an editable Word file and a live Excel budget, in English or Hindi.

A full proposal usually takes 5 to 11 minutes to build. You can leave the page; it keeps working and appears in your dashboard.

What makes a proposal fundable, built in by default.

A clear theory of change
Problem, what must change, objective, results, activities, each following from the last, stated explicitly.
A real logframe
Every result with an indicator, a baseline, a target and a means of verification, outcomes kept distinct from outputs.
Evidence-based problem analysis
Authoritative national data and the specific local situation, not national figures standing in for the district.
A defensible budget
Line items tied to activities, rates sourced where they exist and clearly flagged where they are estimates.
Risks and assumptions
Made explicit, each with a likelihood, an impact and a concrete mitigation.
Three formats, submission-grade
A professionally formatted PDF, an editable Word document, and a live Excel budget, in English or Hindi.
