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

For 2020, Sheltertech is hoping to create partnerships with more corporations (especially ones that have made the 1% pledge). We working to solve the greatest tech challenges faced by homeless idividuals in SF. We'd like to partner with a volunteer to:
1. identify interested corporations within San Francisco;
2. Identify the social impact person we need to contact;
3. identify approach (grant or volunteers);
4. identify when they set up budgets/ what type of events they'd like.

What we have in place
  • We currently have writing that explains our projects/ programming that need $$, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have an idea of what types of help we need from corporations, 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 expand our free to use the platform to more Bay Area cities, connect more homeless shelters with free WiFi, and create a reliable stream of funding for future projects.

Recently established in 2016, our organization has minimal partnerships with well-established organizations. In 2020, we hope to change that. With a volunteer team of nearly 100 individuals and a strong connection with San Francisco's mayor's office of housing and community development, we have a team that can sell itself and merely needs to identify interested partners.
