Building foundation partnerships : the basics of foundation fundraising and proposal writing : a manual

This manual has two primary objectives. First, we hope that it will add to your understanding and appreciation of the important contribution that foundations make to Canadian society. Second, by following the steps outlined in this manual, you should be able to assess the relative importance of foundation funding to your organization and assign resources accordingly. This manual attempts to present the best possible practices in building relations with foundations – practices based on the principles articulated in the foreword by Richard Ivey.
