By Nancy Gardner


Many non-profit groups are spending time organizing outreach programs that can be of great help to the society. However, the ideas they have might not come into fruition if they do not have the support of others, especially when it comes to money. Money is needed so that the idea can be brought to life, after all.

Since the said organization require money, it is only a given to look for ways on how to obtain donations. A good idea would be to entice project funding investment group to give aid to the idea you plan to realize. For the idea to be backed by the said group, you need to create a proposal and present it to them.

The group can be easily convinced if you make a proper presentation for them. However, note that the proposal is not easy to create. There are heaps of info that one must gather and organize for an appealing presentation. Many other stuff must be carried out to make a proper presentation.

It would be good for a person to know some tips on how to make the said presentation then. There should be tips that one can follow for that. These tips will make it easier to convince representatives to agree to support the idea you have. Here are the simple tips on how you can make your presentation more appealing.

First, be clear with what you aim to get with the outreach program. The evaluation committee must be provided with the right information about what they could benefit out of supporting the outreach program one is requesting help from. Let them know that they can really gain something from supporting this outreach program.

Properly and thoroughly explain to the committee just how you plan to use the support which you are requesting from them. If what you need is cash, then write out what you plan to spend it on. It might be for campaigning, recruitment, or operations. If it is human resource, outline the job description and work schedule. Be thorough with the explanation.

Think lean and only ask for support according to what is the most immediate need you want fulfilled. The person should stop looking too far ahead when one is asking for support. Even if you are tempted to ask them to support you all the way to achieving your big vision, you should stop that and focus on what is immediate first.

After you finish presenting in front of the representatives, you better contact the audience member immediately. You better thank each one of them for taking the time to listen to your proposal. They might have a suggestion for you for improvement so better take note of that as well. It should be easy to gain the trust of potential donors this way too.

You cannot expect to get the approval of these potential investors immediately. Even if they show you how enthusiastic they are of the outreach program, the written agreement will take time before it arrives at our office. You must wait patiently for that agreement. You must not overstep your boundaries when following up on it too.
