We’ve crafted an example plan for you to refer to, as well as a PDF resource of “needs” which can help you respond to a handful of questions. Please complete the form below by December 18th.

We encourage you to first respond to the questions below in a separate document, and then copy & paste your answers once you’re ready to submit them. This will allow you to keep a copy of your plan because, once you submit your form, you will no longer be able to see your responses on this site.
