"The problem that your proposal addresses, while critical, must be reasonable. You must be able to solve it in a reasonable amount of time with a reasonable amount of money. The problem can't be described as so overwhelming that the funder questions whether or not you can solve it.
"The need you state is NEVER for money. Our agency needs $50,000 in order to train 100 low-income women to become teacher aides is not an appropriate statement of need...".
"Your success rests with your definition of a specific need among a targeted group that you can realistically meet by the method you are proposing.

Before raising fund you have to make a good relation with community .
The community out reach is the main point to raise fund . Let the community
understand the need of your organization in their lives. You have to understand the environment of the donor in the community .

Fundraising in these times is becoming more and more difficult. A guide on raising money would be an valuable tool for many.
