Talking points for a first meeting
How it works
Three calm steps
01
Tell it about your work
Share your mission, location, and the size of gift you're seeking. It learns your programs, your voice, and your numbers once, then keeps them close.
02
Ask for what you need
Ask for a brief on a foundation or a list of local corporate funders. Plain words are fine; no prompts to master.
03
Review, then share
A sourced brief: what they fund, how much, and how to approach them. Nothing goes out until you've read it and made it yours.
Funds: youth, housing, food security
Typical grant: $10k to $50k, annual cycle
Recent grantees: 3 local shelters
Next step: letter of inquiry by March 1
