Project: Fundraising Research

Description

We are looking for a volunteer who can help us do research on methods to grow a small 501(c)(3) animal rescue. We are interested in learning more about what the best practices surrounding grants, cooperate sponsorships, and other forms of fundraising are. We are also looking for some estimates of the value/ rate of return on pursuing such opportunities.

Project Roadmap Step 1

Schedule a call with the Non-Profit Organization (NPO) / Charity and understand the requirements and scope of this project. Prepare a project plan with the details on the key milestones and the timeline for the project.

Step 2

Gather the requirements on the specifics of the information that needs to be researched.

Step 3

Search the internet through various means and collate the data required.

Step 4

Submit the research report to the NPO/Charity.

Deliverables

A report on best practices and projected ROIs of various fundraising strategies.

Impact

A detailed research report on the topic will be a great source of information for us to gain insights and use the source effectively for our further work in this area.

The volunteer gets an opportunity to enhance their internet research skills. They gain experience in finding authentic information from the internet, using the right keywords to search, finding information sources through social media, through paper publications, searching through bibliographies, and many more effective ways to track and pull out information from the internet.

This project could be the difference between growth and stagnation for our organization. It will also help maximize the efficiency of future fundraising efforts.
