Once the project has been specifically defined, the grant seeker needs to research appropriate funding sources. Both the applicant and the grantor agency or foundation should have the same interests, intentions, and needs if a proposal is to be considered an acceptable candidate for funding.

Later, the grant seeker may ask some of the grantor agency or foundation personnel for suggestions, criticisms, and advice about the proposed project. In many cases, the more agency or foundation personnel know about the proposal, the better the chance of support and of an eventual favorable decision. Sometimes it is useful to send the proposal summary to a specific agency or foundation official in a separate cover letter, and ask for preliminary review and comment. An applicant may check with the government agency or foundation first to determine its preference if this approach is under consideration. If the review is unfavorable and differences cannot be resolved, the grant seeker may ask the examining agency or foundation official to suggest another department, agency, or foundation which may be interested in the proposal. A personal visit to the agency's or foundation's state or regional office or headquarters (if available) may also be beneficial. A visit not only establishes face-to-face contact but also may bring out some essential details about the proposal or help secure additional advice or information. Federal agencies are required to report funding information as funds are approved, increased, or decreased among projects within a given state depending on the type of required reporting.

This letter went to explain our mission statement and our goal requesting their help in the building of our skatepark which is located in the local community. We were seeking any type of donation these larger companies would provide us with following this letter.

The recreation board would then present it to the town board requesting their approval. At this point, all we would be waiting upon would be the funds. Unfortunately, the application process for grants were much more intense requiring all the criteria we used for the towns approval plus more. Once we have all the necessary documentations we must wait for the application date to submit our request. We then await the foundations and answers to begin out
