STUDY OF FRUIT BATS

Because giving is highly concentrated to a single recurring grantee, unsolicited proposals have a low likelihood of success; appropriate approaches are relationship-driven — e.g., introductions via the recurring grantee, trustees, or other trusted intermediaries — or very tightly aligned, small-scale fruit-bat research requests submitted through the documented mailing/contact route directed to Brian Pope. Use concise, project-focused proposals that mirror the foundation's recorded purpose and budget scale.
