Notes

Companies have streamlined their corp solicitation process so most everything now is done online.  No real need for a "packet" in this case because you can't send anything or upload anything.  In my opinion, the aguaclara website is very informative and pretty much sells itself.

The questions they as require several paragraphs but that was alright.  Searching for potential companies takes a little bit of time and thought.  For example Boeing might give, but what is their interest in Honduras?...  Chiquita Brands on the other hand has a long history/relationship with Banana producers in the country.  One of the questions they asked was what particular city will this grant go to helping?...  Its not good enough to say Honduras but they are particularly choosy about helping the city of La Lima.

Another company I am thinking of contact is Viamericas.
