Details

Our organization is interested in addressing societal issues and supporting social causes. However, we are currently facing funding challenges.

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.
  • Working with the Fund Development Coordinator to develop projects
  • Identifying potential sponsors and funding opportunities that are a good fit for our organization and project.
  • Prospect grants, track applications
Deliverables

By the end of the project, students should demonstrate:

  • Understanding of our organization’s values and purpose
  • Understanding of the community projects
  • Identification of potential sponsors and funding sources
  • Recommendations for improving our grant proposals.
  • Final report to Fund Development Coordinator
Mentorship

Students will connect directly with the Fund Development Coordinator 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

At L’Arche Edmonton , we celebrate our gifts. People with or without disabilities are welcomed with open arms. We view each other as ambassadors for belonging - people who passionately contribute their gifts and experiences for the good of society. This attitude permeates everything we do at our various homes and at Day Program which sometimes hosts Hot Lunch on Fridays to volunteering at Hope Mission. We take pride in being a diverse and multicultural community, and we celebrate the unique gifts of each individual who chooses to live and work with us.
