15 minutes: Evaluate a Team
If they haven't been asked and answered already - to YOUR satisfaction - here are some questions that might be worth asking on any Team page. Pick any of these questions, head over to the Team page, pick a Team and fire away...
NOTE: You will need to Join the Team to ask your question. If you don't want to remain a member of the Team, just click Leave Team when you are done.
For the Team leader...
How did you learn about this organization? What is your connection to it?
What is it about this organization that fires you up enough to want to start a Team for it?
Have you visited it personally?
Do you volunteer in other ways for it?
Big Questions?
Can we legally give to the project?
Is the organization exempt under IRS Section 501 (c)(3)? What is its Tax ID number? If it is based in a foreign country, can we give to it and stay within the guidelines set for US charities by the State Department and the Treasury Department? More on this here...
Does this project foster fairness for girls?
How? Specifically.
What makes this the most important issue we could focus on right now?
For the organization ...
How meaningful would $5000 be?
How big are their normal grants? Is $5000 much larger or smaller than their average grant or just...average.
What is the organization's main source of funding?
What does the organization plan to do with the Grant?
Will any of the funds be used for administrative or fundraising purposes or will all the money go to provide services?
Would $5000 provide for all or a significant portion of the needed funds for the project?
Is this a project to be funded for one time only? If no, how does the organization plan to raise the money to continue it?
How does the target population's community support this organization?
How does the organization know that the services it plans to offer are actually needed and wanted by the local population?
How will we know what happened with our Grant money?
Will someone from the organization come back and let us know about the impact our grant has had?
