- Do they give money often enough that it will count for you in time to make this budget request?
- Do they provide funding in your area?
- Do they support your cause?
- How does the structure of an organization support, enhance, or inhibit productivity, teamwork, and the attainment of that organization’s mission, vision, and values?
- Where do you work? Does the environment help you?
