Can I ask you questions directly regarding my nonprofit idea?
We would love you too. We all have ideas and they really have to be implemented or tested before you really know if it will work. This course is a good place to test your idea. When Im doing a grant writing project for my clients I always say:"give me something to write about" Donors fund what you are doing, not what you are thinking about. You need to be able to be articulate about things you have done, not about what you are going to do.
