How many areas does it fit (employee driven, STEAM, Military/Veteran)? Is it local to only one office or national, global? Are any of our current partner organizations offering a similar program? Decision making questions? How many employees are involved currently? How many are interested in getting involved if we provide an opportunity. Are we doing any similar already? If so, how are things going? What are the visibility opportunities? What audience does this organization already have? Will our employees be proud to see us support this in the community? Will this impact our B 2 B relationships or customer base?
