Step 2 is to decide how cash will be spent by collecting information, prioritizing proposals, communicating decisions, and commissioning leaders. Step 3 is to create future opportunities, such as exploring options like calling vendors, buying in bulk, and double checking bills, as well as encouraging giving through sharing information sensitively, telling stories, and saying thank you.
