Our organization is committed to serving our target population. However, we are currently facing funding challenges.

We would like to collaborate with students to develop a fundraising plan to meet our goals.

This will involve several different steps for the students, including:

• Familiarizing themselves with our mission, values and goals.
• Familiarizing themselves with our past fundraising activities and donors.
• Conducting background research on fundraising strategies.
• Recommending suitable fundraising strategies and creating a timeline / calendar of these activities.

Bonus steps in the process would also include:

• Assisting in implementing new fundraising activities.
• Assisting in volunteering or finding volunteers for fundraising activities.

By the end of the project, students should demonstrate:

• Understanding of our mission, values and goals
• Understanding of our fundraising history
• Understanding of fundraising strategies used by similar organizations
• Creation of a fundraising plan

Bonus steps would include:

• Implementing new fundraising activities

Final deliverables should include

• A final report with a new fundraising plan.
• A few preliminary posters for future fundraising events

Students will connect directly with us for mentorship throughout the project. We will be able to provide answers to questions such as:

• Our mission, values and goals
• Our previous fundraising activities
• Input on choices, problems or anything else the students might encounter.
• Fundraising event ideas for future events.
