Developing a toolkit to accompany a documentary and for seeking grants for a documentary project involves several steps, drawing from resources provided by the Community Tool Box sections and Toolkits. Here's a comprehensive plan:

1. Needs Assessment:
   • Utilize Chapter 3. Assessing Community Needs and Resources to understand the target audience's needs, interests, and preferences related to the documentary topic.
   • Conduct surveys, interviews, or focus groups to gather insights into the community's knowledge gaps and desired resources.
2. Toolkit Development:
   • Use the "Developing a Strategic Plan" Tool kit 5. Developing Strategic and Action Plans to outline goals, objectives, and strategies for the toolkit.
   • Design the toolkit content based on the documentary's themes, incorporating educational materials, discussion guides, action plans, and additional resources.
   • Ensure the toolkit is accessible, engaging, and user-friendly, utilizing multimedia elements, interactive features, and diverse formats.
3. Content Creation:
   • Collaborate with subject matter experts, community members, and stakeholders to develop content for the toolkit.
   • Utilize resources from Chapter 6. Communications to Promote Interest | Section 1. Developing a Plan for Communication to design compelling narratives, visuals, and messaging that complement the documentary.
4. Pilot Testing:
   • Pilot test the toolkit with a small sample of the target audience to gather feedback on usability, relevance, and effectiveness.
   • Use insights from the pilot test to refine and improve the toolkit before its full release.
5. Distribution and Promotion:
   • Develop a distribution plan to disseminate the toolkit alongside the documentary, utilizing online platforms, community organizations, educational institutions, and relevant networks.
   • Leverage social media, press releases, and promotional events to raise awareness and generate interest in the documentary and accompanying toolkit.
6. Evaluation:
   • Use evaluation techniques from Chapter 36. Introduction to Evaluation | Section 1. A Framework for Program Evaluation: A Gateway to Tools to assess the impact and effectiveness of the toolkit in achieving its goals.
   • Collect feedback from users through surveys, focus groups, or interviews to understand the toolkit's strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement.
7. Grant Seeking:
   • Review Toolkit 14. Applying for Grants for the process of applying for grants.
   • Research potential funding opportunities for documentary projects, including grants from government agencies, foundations, and private donors.
   • Utilize online resources such as grant databases, funding directories, and grant writing guides to identify relevant grant opportunities.
   • Develop a compelling grant proposal that outlines the documentary project's objectives, target audience, impact, budget, and sustainability plan.
   • Customize the proposal to align with the priorities and requirements of each funding source, highlighting the potential impact and value of the documentary and accompanying toolkit.
8. Grant Writing and Submission:
   • Follow best practices for grant writing, including clear and concise writing, evidence-based arguments, and alignment with the funder's guidelines.
   • Ensure all required documents and supporting materials are included in the grant application package.
   • Submit the grant proposal by the specified deadline, following the funder's submission instructions and requirements.
9. Follow-Up and Reporting:
   • Maintain communication with funders throughout the grant application process, providing any requested additional information or clarification.
   • If successful, fulfill reporting requirements outlined by the funder, providing updates on project progress, outcomes, and financial accountability.

By following these steps and utilizing resources from the Community Tool Box sections, Toolkits, and additional web resources, you can develop an informative toolkit to accompany your documentary and effectively seek grants to support your project.
