Task 3: Identify Potential Project Partners

Guideline: Accomplishing the project idea may require partnering with other community organizations and/or local businesses. Such partnering might involve financial relationships, the use of facilities, or the sharing of expertise and services. Prior to approaching potential partnering organizations the grant seeker needs to know why they are seeking partners and what they need from the relationship. Involving project partners in developing the grant proposal will optimize their support for the project and enhance its prospects for success.
