Scale of supports and services (number of family caregivers served, number of local organizations and agencies participating as partners)
Ramp-up Assumptions (if you are expanding, over what period of time? With what benchmarks?)

Clarify What You Need; When
Based on gap analysis, review short-term and long-term needs
Differentiate between one-time fiscal needs (start-up, capital investments) and on-going operating needs
Match short-term needs to short-term strategies; long-term needs to longer-term strategies

Review Current Funding Mix
How many funding sources? Public vs. Private: What percentage , if
any, is from private sector (over and above per pupil revenue)? What percentage of support comes from other public sources?
Stability: Percentage of support that is time-limited (1 to 3 years)
Reliability: Do you have any funding sources at risk of being cut or reduced?
