Fundraising Plan
Project details
What we need
- A thorough analysis of the current fundraising strategy and tactics
- Clear fundraising targets for the next 2-4 years, tied to the organization's operating budget and program goals
- Strategic planning around which tactics to should pursue (e.g., grants, crowdfunding, e-giving, direct mail, events, and galas), and audiences to target (e.g., individual, major donor groups, foundations, corporations, or government)
- Clear timelines to help the organization execute on the proposed tactics
What we have in place
- We have a website, pitch deck, and most importantly, clients. We know who we are, what we do, and what we offer and our customers understand our value. What we need is cash on hand until our partnerships and programs are realized.
How this will help
This project will save us $2,500 , allowing us to grow rapidly and 1000 students and educators will benefit.
The education-to-employment system fails for most employers and young people. Globally, 75 million young people are unemployed, but businesses can't find enough skilled workers to fill job vacancies. Breaker teaches students and educators how to design innovative solutions to real-world problems and close the gap between education and employment. Our model is a combination of contributions and fees-for-service. We are currently raising $250,000 in contributions as runway to get us off the ground.

Our mission
Redefining Education. Designing Change.
What we do
Critical thinking. Collaboration. Communication. The demands of the 21st century call on all of us to reframe how we learn, how we teach, and how we work. There is a profound disconnect between what and how students are taught in school today, versus what the world requires of them and what motivates them to think and perform innovatively.
Breaker teaches students and educators how to design and implement solutions to real-world problems. We use local, national, and global challenges to introduce participants to a design process that lends immediacy and relevancy to learning. Participants exit Breaker with new skills and abilities; products and services result from Breaker ready for impact.
Founder and TED Senior Fellow, Dr. Juliette LaMontagne began testing the Breaker model in 2011. Since that time, a collaboration with Stanford University’s d.school brought challenges to New York, Detroit, Portland, and Boise to foster innovation.
