Package should answer... Who are you? Why do you exist? What is it you want to accomplish? How do you intend to accomplish it? What are your products and/or services? What is distinctive about you?

Who provides your leadership and direction? Who are your major partners, supporters and funders? What are your achievements to date? Are you fiscally responsible and financially credible? What are your long term plans?

What do you want from me? How will my contribution make a difference? How do I make my contribution? How will my contribution be recognized? How will you hold yourself accountable?

Approach potential funders 4 Ps: Prospect research, Preparation, Patience, Persistence Conquer fear Determine specific strategy Choose solicitors carefully and make sure they are fully prepared Key in on interests and needs of the prospect Emphasize “opportunity” for the donor rather than “need” of the organization Be open and honest - don’t make promises you can’t keep Be a good listener Provide written package Make notes and keep them on file for future reference Follow up and follow through
