Foundation Grant Research
Project details
What we need
- A list of potential foundations to target for grant applications
Additional details
We have two main projects that we have some but not all the funding for in the next year. We need a volunteer to do targeted grant research to find more grants to apply to.
What we have in place
- We currently have specific parameters to narrow down the search, which should make it easy to get started. We also have a staff member available to answer any questions you may have.
How this will help
This project will save us $4,828 , allowing us to record more stories, publish more books, and uplift immigrant voices around the country
This project will help us follow through and complete two major projects, helping us share more stories and reach a wider audience.

Our mission
Green Card Voices is a non-profit organization that records and shares first person narratives of America's immigrants. We work to facilitate a better understanding between immigrant and non-immigrant communities through the art of storytelling.
Our dynamic, multimedia materials are designed to empower a variety of educational institutions, community groups and individuals alike to acquire first-person perspectives about immigrants' lives, increasing the appreciation of the immigrant experience in America.
What we do
We're traveling the country and listening to those with the courage to share their journey, documenting each story in an authentic and unbiased way. America has 43 million immigrants, and Green Card Voices works to share their diverse stories and experiences, to show the incredible breadth of the immigrant population. Once recorded, these stories are shared via our website and social media platforms, as well as in books and traveling exhibits.
Immigrants have played a vital role at each turn in our nation's history, and they continue to do so today. By sharing these stories, we can instill a sense of pride in our nation's immigrant population and thank them for all of their contributions.
Testimonials
This was Sarah's first project and she did a great job! She was responsive, stuck to our timeline and made changes when we asked. I would highly recommend hiring her!
I appreciated the opportunity to assist Green Card Voices with grant research -- Anna made it easy to know exactly what I needed to look for in prospective grants and responded quickly when I had questions or needed feedback. I loved learning about the work Green Card Voices does and was happy to be able to support them in identifying some prospective funding sources for their projects.
