In previous assignments, you selected an agency with a project that requires funding and a shortlist of potential funders for that project. Now you must select the most feasible and pragmatic funder from that shortlist. This will be done by matching your agency and project with funder mandates, goals, needs, and requirements for accountability. You will then write a letter to the chosen funder clearly outlining the project you propose and your intention to apply for funding.
