This question was not about my clients and about getting them appointments with foundation officials about my clients' feasibility studies. I have been in this business over 35 years and know the rules of feasibility studies. My question was about trends in feasibility studies.
When I mentioned that I was able to get my clients in for interviews with foundation officials it was in regard to meetings regarding specific projects, not feasibility studies. I mentioned that only because years ago it was easy to meet with foundation officials for almost any reason, but today the trend seems to me that foundation officials are granting few appointments to anyone, including consultants who specialize in conducting feasibility studies.
