What to complete
- Choose one program this campaign will fund, and fill in section A: who it serves, its full annual cost and the results you track.
- Write your mission sentence (section B), 20 words or fewer. You’ll share it during your Zoom introduction. Set your display name to your first name and organization.
- List your funding history for the last three to five years (section C), including who said no and why. This keeps us from sending you back to doors that already closed.
- Mark the strategies you already use (section D) and last year's revenue (section E).
- Complete the readiness check in section 7.
- Start your prospect list in section 6, using the starter list for your cause area when it arrives and your own relationships.
