your decisions.Be sure to support your postings and responses
with specific references to the Learning Resources and outside

identify which funding sources (specific individuals,
foundations, government sources, etc.) are most likely to fund
the organization/project based on past giving, mission,
priorities, and geographic giving area.

to maximize development success.

opportunities.
