The prompt
Help me write a proposal to start a new club or program.
The idea: [e.g. "a debate and public speaking club", "a history contest", "a coding club"]
Organization: [school, community center, nonprofit, workplace]
Who decides and who reads this: [principal, board, colleagues who would help run it]
Participants: [ages or groups, expected numbers]
Why now: [the need, interest, or gap - with any evidence]
Resources I need: [space, time slots, budget, volunteers, outside experts]
Who will help run it: [names or roles]
Structure the proposal:
1. Summary: the idea and the ask in 3-4 sentences.
2. Purpose and goals: what participants gain, with 2-3 measurable goals.
3. How it will work: format, schedule, session outline, and for a contest: eligibility, rules, judging criteria, and prizes.
4. Roles: who does what, including what I'm asking colleagues to commit.
5. Resources and budget: a simple table with costs and possible funding sources; mark unknowns [ADD COST].
6. Risks and how we'll handle them: low turnout, scheduling conflicts, supervision and safeguarding for minors.
7. Pilot plan and next steps: start small, review after [PERIOD], and what I need approved by when.
Keep it to about 2 pages, warm but concrete. Also give me a 1-minute pitch I can use when presenting it in a meeting.
Highlighted [brackets] are blanks to replace with your own details.

How this prompt is built
This prompt follows the RTF structure (Role, Task, Format). RTF tells the model who to be, what to do and what shape the answer should take. It is the quickest structure that still gives noticeably better results than a bare request.
