We are able to have a clear understanding of how they support organizations in our ecosystem to understand how we would like to pitch our work for them, what is a reasonable ask for us to make of the funder, and what connection points may our organization already have with the potential funder. All of this information and background is super helpful in moving opportunities forward.
