Proposal development brings together groups of district-based volunteers called Budget Delegates to create proposals based on the ideas shared during idea collection. The Budget Delegates will thoroughly review the ideas that were shared about their district, research and gather community input about those ideas, and then develop specific proposals. The goal of the proposal stage is to create tangible, specific projects, with coherent budgets, deeply consider equity, and recognize the impact that the project will have in the community. This will provide all the information necessary to implement ideas as projects.
