Presenting Your Case • Create an excellent problem statement • Create your mission statement • Outline your project • Define project approach
If They Say …… Yes • Make sure you send an appropriate thank you to the funder • Keep track of expenditures • Keep track of success and failures • Return a final report documenting how their contribution made an impact No • See if you can find out why you were not approved • Make modifications to future proposals based on the feed back you received • Don’t get discouraged, if you really believe in your cause keep trying Yes, You Are Approved No, We’re Sorry
