BUS 510 Week 6 Assignment 3 - Researching, Contacting, and Cultivating Potential
Funders - Strayer Latest
For this assignment, you will be describing methods for locating an individual to give funding,
researching the individual donor, and writing a letter (two to three [2-3] pages) of request to an
individual funding representative (donor). Refer to the basic proposal components discussed in
Chapter 2 of the Geever textbook. This solicitation letter of request will require you to be
concise, polite, informative, and more informal with a friendly tone and the right flow of
information than a proposal. Use the Internet to locate sample letters of request and methods of
researching individual donors.
Write a four to six (4-6) page paper in which you:
Assess existing or typical methods for locating an individual to provide funding.
Create one (1) method for locating an individual to provide funding. (This method can be a
hybrid of multiple methods or a completely new method.)
Evaluate existing or typical methods for researching an individual donor based on the textbook
and information you gathered on the Internet.
Create one (1) method for researching an individual donor. (This method can be a hybrid of
multiple methods or a completely new method.)
Create a letter of request that addresses the five (5) main points of a letter of request (ask for the
gift, describe the need, explain what you will do, include budget data, and close.)

2. Include at least three (3) references (no more than five [5] years old) from material outside the
textbook.
Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:
Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all
sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your
professor for any additional instructions.
Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s
name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in
the required assignment page length.
