Project details

What we need
  • Research into ideal funder profile(s) and list of sources
  • Development of a list of prospects (up to 15) that fit that ideal funder profile, including contact information when applicable and list of sources
  • Recommendations on areas for further exploration/research
Additional details

The Boys & Girls Clubs of Tucson ("BGCT") currently has one part-time grant writer who works remotely to research and apply for funding opportunities. We have a growing list of prospective funders, and we could use some assistance in paring down this list to include only funders that would be a great fit. This project is perfect for someone who enjoys research, has general fundraising knowledge (or simply wants to learn more), and has a passion for helping at-risk youth!

What we have in place
  • We currently have a long list of prospective funders, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a dedicated staff person to answer your questions, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $2,494 , allowing us to allowing us to instead redirect those funds to offer Club membership scholarships to 124 at-risk youth in need!

Despite common misconception, we are almost entirely privately funded and receive no special funding from the Boys & Girls Clubs of America. Any support - regardless of size or form - is greatly appreciated. As we continue to recover from 2008 recession budget cuts, we are always searching for new funding opportunities to help us serve more kids in need. A dedicated grants volunteer can help us conduct this research, placing us in a better position in 2020 to reach more deserving youth.
