WORDS TO REMEMBER Umbrella organizations: an organization that supports another organization in writing and managing the money received from grants. 13

WORDS TO REMEMBER Match requirement: some grants require an in-kind contribution of the grant. Examples include: volunteer time from staff; community volunteers; office equipment and supplies; donations… 14

WORDS TO REMEMBER Demographics and statistics is information about a population (people) that includes: gender, age, ethnicity, knowledge of languages, disabilities,, mobility, home ownership, employment status, education, location in a city or state 15

WORDS TO REMEMBER Lessening resources is the making or becoming less in available supports (supplies, materials, money, people, staff) 16

WORDS TO REMEMBER A Person who Delegates gives another person a task or activity to do 17

THIS IS WHAT FLORIDA ASKED With our challenged economy, is it even worth trying to get your project funded? Are people still winning grants? 18
