Project details
What we need
- A compilation of research on a specific topic (e.g. industry best practices, literature review, media contacts, industry trends, etc.) including a list of sources
- Recommendations on areas for further exploration/research
- Note: This project is not designed to be used for prospect or grant research
Additional details
Treehouse is beginning to explore sources of funding outside of Washington State, especially foundations that are capable of making gifts of $1 million or more. I'm looking for research on the largest grantmaking organizations in major cities across the US, details on potential alignment with Treehouse's programs, and any available information on how to contact them or apply for funding. We've begun this research internally and need someone to carry it forward.
What we have in place
- We currently have a document detailing results of our research to date, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have detailed information on Treehouse's programs, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $5,239 , allowing us to invest our development team's time in building/strengthening relationships with identified sources of support.
Treehouse's goal is that by 2022, youth in foster care across Washington State will graduate from high school at the same rate as their peers, with support and a plan to launch successfully into adulthood. We have a program with demonstrated effectiveness in increasing graduation rates for youth in foster care, and need growth capital to scale statewide.
Project plan
Our mission
Treehouse's mission is to give youth in foster care a childhood and a future.
We envision - and strive to create - a world where every child that has experienced foster care has the opportunities and support they need to pursue their dreams and launch successfully into adulthood.
