As one of the terms of its merger in Canada, a large U.S.-based multimedia corporation is required to support the arts in Canada through a $221 million fund. The first university to approach the company is encouraged by its initial meetings with the company's representatives. The director of faculty fundraising must prepare a proposal that conveys the university's understanding of the company's business interests, recognizes the diverse needs of the proposal's audience, aligns the company's interests with the university needs, all in a clear, well-researched, well-written document. The supplement, AOL Time Warner (B), product 9B04C003, reports on the company's response to the proposal and the follow-up work required to secure the funding partnership.
