Slide 1
At this point the presenter should declare and explain his/her relationship to the Foundation. If the presenter is not a member of staff, he or she should make clear why the Foundation’s work is so important to him/her that he/she is presenting the work of the Foundation.
At the same time, it should be made clear at this point that, not being a member of staff, the presenter cannot answer every question in detail.
He/she cannot definitively confirm whether someone is really suitable for a specific sponsorship programme. Nor can he/she agree to award funding.
The listeners can find all the details on the homepage and are welcome to get in touch with the Foundation at any time.
