Consider the source of information and when you respond, consider the audience as well. If you write a proposal without considering your audience then chances are, you are talking above, below, or around them. In order to speak to the heart of someone, it is important to know who that someone. On top of that, knowing something about their agenda is also key. For example, why are they giving money away? In their mind, what are you going to do with it when they give it to you? Do they intend for YOU to use THEIR money to supplant or supplement your budget? If you submit an application for funding without answering these questions call Jeru because you are PLAYIN YA SELF!
