Tips To Convince Project Funding Investment Group To Back An Idea

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.

Making a presentation that can entice the representatives is actually not that easy. You got to gather as much information as possible about what one plans to organize. You even have to consider the representatives preferences and how you can appeal to them the best. There are too many things you got to do for one 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.

You better think lean. This means that you should only be asking for support for your next phase in your action plan. You might be tempted to explain what big vision you have for a project but that might not be appealing to the investors. You have to give them something they can easily envision when it comes to what they are supporting.

After doing the presentation, better contact each of the audience members. Thank them individually for listening to the presentation. Moreover, ask them for those areas they think require improvement. With this, you can not only improve the presentation but you can also gain the trust of these potential donors.

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.
