When trying to find donors for playground funding follow these action steps:

• Create a donor pipeline using an online project management tool and start populating it with all the donors and supporting information you’ve collected.
• Identify your 10 best prospects (either foundation, corporate, individual, or government).
• Rank them in order in terms of their overall alignment with your project.
• Review their application requirements (if any) and devise a strategy for connecting with their key contact(s).
• Craft your elevator speech and reach out to your 10 best prospects via phone or email.
• Track those conversations in your donor pipeline and determine the optimal timing and method for that follow-up contact.
• Identify and prioritize your outreach to those prospects with the highest potential to give.
