&Rise is a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering women survivors of trauma and abuse. The organization is seeking to secure additional funding to expand its life-changing programs. The project involves developing a comprehensive grant proposal to help &Rise obtain financial support from potential donors and grant-making institutions. The goal is to create a compelling narrative that highlights the impact of &Rise's programs and aligns with the funding criteria of targeted grant opportunities. This project will allow learners to apply their knowledge of nonprofit management and grant writing, enhancing their skills in research, persuasive writing, and strategic planning. The team will work collaboratively to identify suitable grant opportunities, gather necessary data, and craft a proposal that effectively communicates the mission and needs of &Rise.

The primary deliverable for this project is a polished grant proposal ready for submission to potential funders. This includes a detailed narrative, budget outline, and supporting documentation. Additionally, the team will provide a list of identified grant opportunities and a summary of the research conducted to support the proposal. The deliverables will demonstrate the learners' ability to synthesize information and present it in a professional format. Training is available for students with no experience.
