Before approaching a funding agency, make sure you understand its funding priorities. Use databases to identify funders who are interested in giving to causes similar to yours and also to your geographic area. Once you've identified several funders, study them more carefully by looking at their websites, their publications, newspaper articles, and their tax returns.
