I can also research ideas that you send on what your proposals would be. Then cover letters and samples of work would have to accompany the grant proposal as well as estimates of cost and expected results from the documentary proposal. Should I contact you through your website?

National Geographic Magazine, United Nations, Greenpeace (environmental concerns) come to mind and there are probably more possibilities.
