Week Four---is this is the right match?

So I've been working with my church to get some new CPR equipment for childcare instructor training. It's such a worthy cause, and such a small amount that I'm looking for (no more than $1,000 total) that you'd think things would be going smoothly. But I've hit some snags.

1. While I did do some asking around about what the church needs, I didn't do a thorough search.
2. The foundation I've found (Mustard Seed Foundation) is a good one, but they only supply matching funds (less than %50). This means the church, or someone else, will need to pony up the rest of the money prior to MSF providing funds.
3. I haven't yet been able to secure budget info from my church contact, which means I don't know two things:
• Is the church behind this project?
• Can the church be behind this project?

I looked at the FDN short course, and to tell the truth, the part I genuinely enjoyed was the diagram of the parts of a proposal: that really helps in terms of perspective.
