Question 1
4 Points
According to Step 1 of the textbook, why would you use a logic model to describe an organization or its programs?
Many funders aren’t familiar with logic models and will need the information explained to them clearly.
Grant funding organizations will not accept solicitation applications without a logic model.
It ensures that the goals and objectives of the funding organization are the same as the grantseeker’s.
A visual illustration can be helpful to show the flow of activities that will lead to the desired results.

Question 3
4 Points
What is an advantage of a letter of inquiry (LOI)?
The grantseeker can provide the funder with a quick peek at the organization, target audience, and prospective program without having to develop a full proposal at this early stage.
It includes more information about deadlines and project activity details than a letter of intent or a request for application would.
You can use the same LOI to solicit multiple organizations because of the standard submission requirements for this component.
This letter is a good way to follow up with a grant funder after you have spoken with the funding organization about your project initiative and have been approved to submit a letter.
