Getting in the door to community funders isn't always easy, but introducing yourself to someone new never is. The more you reach out to acquaint others with your organization, the easier it will become and the better you'll be at it. In the end, you're increasing the awareness of your mission, building your skill base and making new friends along the journey. A win-win-win for everyone involved.
