Project scope
What is the main goal for this project?

We are looking for assistance in finding and completing grant applications that support our mission and vision statement.

We believe this project will include:

  • Researching relevant grants from a variety of sources (government, foundations, corporate).
  • Identify potential sponsors and funding opportunities that are a good fit for our organization and project.
  • Interpret a request for proposal (RFP).
  • Improve the clarity and persuasiveness of our company's grant proposal writing.
  • Reviewing and editing existing grants and applications.
What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?
  • Research, plan, write, edit, and revise a persuasive grant proposal for one or more funding opportunities (time dependent)
  • Research into other grant opportunities to support our cause
About the company

Kids On Track is a community-building organization that provides hope, direction, and ongoing support for children, youth, and their parents.
Educational, social, spiritual, and recreational elements are combined to deliver well-rounded programs. We cultivate relationships, encouraging participants in faith, character and leadership development, social skills, and a healthy lifestyle. We strive to support families experiencing limited opportunities due to various socioeconomic challenges.

Since 1992, we have expanded our programs to respond to changing needs in the community and new opportunities to help at-risk kids and their families. We currently have more than 1,000 participants actively engaged in our programs. Our volunteer base has grown to a team of more than 314 volunteers who collectively contributed 4,469 service hours in our last fiscal year (Sept. 1, 2018 – Aug. 31, 2019).
