Project details

What we need
  • Detailed comments and suggestions based on a thorough review of an existing fundraising plan (20 pages maximum)
  • Feedback on goals and help adjusting targets
Additional details

We are developing a fundraising campaign plan for a network of organizations. Will support the Maine Food Convergence Project (what we are all involved in) and likely to include a Shared Gifting program, that would support projects of individuals network organization. We would like assistance in developing and finalizing the plan. Any network experience appreciated, but not expected! MaineFoodConvergence.org.

What we have in place
  • We currently have beginnings of a draft plan to be further prepared, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have staff and other project partners, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $2,044 , allowing us to gain further funding through the campaign and focus more on the events and projects that build relationships to further and magnify our work.

Currently we solely rely on grant funding. We are in need of a foundational source of income to support the project our partners are engaged in together and also the work of our network organizations. Our work is geared towards creating relationships to magnify the work we are all doing of shifting Maine's food system to be equitable, just, and regenerative.

Erica made her self available to us with short notice and was very clear about her capacity . We had to put the project on hold because of our own restraints but very much believe Erica would be a huge asset to our campaign project when we are able to return to it!
