We would like to collaborate with students to find and complete grant applications.

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

• Familiarizing themselves with our vision statement and a project we have defined.
• Developing a needs statement that characterizes the community problem and justifies the need for our project and funding.
• Identifying potential sponsors and funding opportunities that are a good fit for our organization and project.
• Improving the clarity and persuasiveness of our company's grant proposal writing.

Bonus steps in the process would also include:

• Identifying new opportunities for community projects.

By the end of the project, students should demonstrate:

• Understanding of our organization’s values and purpose
• Understanding of the community project
• Identification of potential sponsors and funding sources
• Recommendations for improving our grant proposals

Bonus steps would include:

• Defining new community projects with appropriate scopes

Final deliverables should include

• A 10-minute presentation.
• Share the grant application document

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

• Our mission and vision statement
• Our community projects and previous grant applications
• Input on choices, problems or anything else the students might encounter.
