  1. Pick an Agency, NGO, or private organization and provide a power point case study on it, highlighting its good and bad points, but importantly recommending that the US government provide funding to them. This is taxpayers’ money so try to ground the brief in tangible effect, and consider the benefits directly to the US, and why the organization you have chosen will be able to best use the funding injection. Top marks will be for briefs that include a suggested figure and why you picked that amount. ****** Rated by Charity Navigator for 4 of 4 on performance
