Before starting, review the questions and create a Word document so that you can cut and paste your responses. This will make it easier and allow you to retain information for the next grant application.

I believe the process here is simple, quick, yet specific. I would tell the requestor, KISS. (Keep It Simple Specific) , and as detailed as possible.
Even though the grant amount is limited, it will definitely help defray some costs of your project. All amounts are appreciated!!!

As your colleague considers approaching this funder, it's essential for them to thoroughly research and understand the funder's mission, priorities, and guidelines. This will enable them to tailor their approach to align with the funder's interests and demonstrate how their nonprofit's goals and initiatives are in harmony with the funder's objectives. Also, they should prepare a compelling case for support, clearly articulating the impact and outcomes of their nonprofit's work. It's important for my colleague to approach the funder with professionalism, clarity, and a genuine understanding of how their nonprofit can contribute to the funder's mission.

One piece of advice for this funder would be to consider expanding their funding portfolio to include transitional housing, as it aligns with their goal of reducing homelessness.
The overall relationship with the funder has been positive, with clear communication and a genuine interest in supporting impactful projects. To understand this funder better, it would be useful to know their specific geographic focus, funding priorities, and any specific requirements for grant applications.
The funder is moderately successful in accomplishing its current philanthropic goals, but there is room for improvement in certain areas to enhance impact.

The funder's accessibility is commendable, as they provide clear guidelines for funding applications.
One thing that this funder does really well is impact of organizations in various capacity in the world through their philanthropic efforts.
