Why Foundations Fund
Why Foundations Fund Every year, hundreds of billions of grant dollars are awarded. In your response, identify three types of grant money sources and summarize why foundations award grant monies. Evaluate the motivations driving grant agencies to award grants. Analyze how understanding these motivations help guide you as a grant writer. Networking Successful grant writers know that it is not enough to have a great idea and a well-crafted proposal. To get funded, it is necessary to find funders whose needs and/or mission aligns with your particular proposal idea. This requires getting to know potential funders beyond what is provided on their website. In your response, list and evaluate at least two practical and inventive ways in which you might network with representatives of potential funders. How, specifically, would you go about creating opportunities to learn more about the funding agency’s needs, goals, and mission and to give its representative’s information on your organization?
