BSBCMM511 - Assessment Task 2 – Performance and Skills

Every year a wealthy benefactor allocates a sum of money to charity.  There are no strings attached to the donation. She works with a team of people to help her decide how to allocate the money.

Your Brief

You should negotiate with the other person to secure the funds you need. The overall sum of money available is $100,000.

It is known that traditionally the benefactor and her team prefer to give out a large lump sum of money rather than lots of small amounts; but also, that they usually want their award of money to have the maximum impact for the most people. The benefactor and her team are busy people and would like the charitable organisations to negotiate amongst themselves and come up with their own agreement as to how the funds should be allocated, which she will then approve.
