31 Aug Identifying Potential Foundations for Funding
Grant Project: Item 7 Identifying Potential Foundations for Funding
By now, much of your Grant Proposal is written except for some final touches which we will discuss next week. You are now ready for the work of identifying potential Grant Maker suitors using the Foundation Center Directory.
The Foundation Center gives you data access to 10,000 possible Grant Makers. The university provides access to the Foundation Center Directory. If you have been “surfing” their website to acquaint yourself with the different tools and reviewed their tutorials, you should be ready for this assignment. Obviously, if you are having difficulty, contact them. As a subscriber, they will answer questions to assist your efforts.
The assignment is to find 5 potential Grant Makers for your Grant Proposal. When you’ve found the 5, you then rank them based on your belief of successful funding probability. Provide your reasoning for choosing them and why you ranked them 1–5. As an attachment to your narrative, you should include copies of their “Profiles”, printed from the Foundation Center’s website. These “Profiles” need to highlight the 7 critical items mentioned this module/week’s presentation.
This assignment is an important step in the grant writing process.
This assignment should be in current APA style.
