Whats the difference between project support and operating support?
Project support is funding for activities that have a clear start and end, and defined goals that are related to, but not the same as, an organization’s mission. For example, a fictional organization called The Purr Project has a mission to reduce the number of homeless cats and kittens. If The Purr Project is seeking funding to hold a spay/neuter clinic in an area town, that would be considered project support. The spay/neuter clinic is a one-time activity with a clear beginning and end, and providing low-cost spay/neuter services is related to the mission of reducing the number of homeless cats and kittens.
