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

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

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

• Familiarizing themselves with our mission, values and goals.
• Estimating and establishing the budget of the fundraising event.
• Creating a plan of action and a detailed breakdown of tasks for volunteers to complete at the event.
• Assisting in marketing and promoting our event.

Bonus steps in the process would also include:

• Recommending improvements for future fundraising events.

By the end of the project, students should demonstrate:

• Understanding of our mission, values and goals
• Establishment of the event budget
• Creation of a plan of action

Bonus steps would include:

• Recommending areas of improvement for future events

Final deliverables should include

• A budget breakdown and event plan.

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 programs and fundraising events
• Input on choices, problems or anything else the students might encounter.

In order to complete this project, students can self-teach, but it is beneficial to be familiar with:

• Event planning

Again, students can complete this project without any of the prior knowledge listed here. Students will be expected to research and learn more about the above as the project goes along.

We can provide students with:

• A walkthrough / tutorial of our organization’s goals, programs, and fundraising events
