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 list of organizations to approach for sponsorship.
• Assisting in contacting organizations for sponsorship either by telephone or email.

Bonus steps in the process would also include:

• Recommending improvements for future fundraising of 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

• List of organizations for sponsorships
• At least one organization committed to sponsorship.

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.
