Definitely not the mayor's office - that could get too political. I'd lean towards community donations or a foundation grant. Gotta be careful with the developer's money though.

I'm a bit unsure about this one. The developer's corporate giving office might be a good option, but I'm worried that could compromise the CDC's independence. Hmm, tough call.

I think the best approach here is to go with option D. Foundations are more likely to fund community-driven initiatives like this workshop.
