Project scope
What is the main goal for this project?

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.
What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?

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 15 minute presentation to the board.
  • An interview with a financial advisor.
How will you support learners in completing the project?

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.
