Vansuya African Kitchen Society, a community-focused organization, is seeking to enhance its financial sustainability and expand its impact through securing grants, sponsorships, and donations. The project aims to develop a comprehensive strategy to identify potential funding opportunities and create compelling proposals. Students will apply their knowledge of nonprofit funding and grant writing to research suitable grants and sponsorships, analyze eligibility criteria, and draft application materials. The goal is to equip Vansuya with a robust plan to secure ongoing funding, thereby enabling the organization to continue its valuable work in the community. This project offers students a practical opportunity to apply classroom knowledge in a real-world setting, focusing on the nonprofit sector's unique challenges and opportunities.

The deliverables for this project include a detailed report outlining potential grant and sponsorship opportunities, a set of draft application materials tailored to these opportunities, and a strategic plan for approaching potential donors. Additionally, students will prepare a presentation summarizing their findings and recommendations, providing Vansuya with actionable insights to secure funding. These deliverables will empower Vansuya to effectively pursue financial support and expand its community impact.
