<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi Kate,<br>
<br>
It is a good sign that you did the research. <br>
<br>
By the way, I remember as a successful businessman told us, his
employees, to read a book on a project's subject. He even asked
questions to verify that a certain book was actually read. Come to
think about it, probably, it is a good time to read a book,
something like:<br>
<br>
"Managing Foundations and Charitable Trusts: Essential Knowledge,
Tools, and Techniques for Donors and Advisors" [1]<br>
<br>
Or maybe there is another good book on this topic? Perhaps,
someone can advise me a good book?<br>

<div>In case there was any confusion I did do research before
coming up with these tiers. I talked to companies using OSM,
talked to board members at other foundations as well as looked
at existing programs. </div>

Gunn [1] in one of her interviews recalls that when she came
to the NASA among other young scientists, they were told not
to invent anything themselves, and instead to search for
existing knowledge blocks, and only if while implementing
theseblocks they encountered a slight gap, only then they
could try to invent something original. So it is quite
common methodology to research first what was done already
and what works.<br>
