Our organization is committed to serving the mindfulness community as well as growing awareness. However, we are a new nonprofit, and we're aiming to raise funds, becoming more established in order to be fully operational.

We would like to collaborate with students to develop a fundraising plan to meet our goals.

This will involve several different steps for the students, including:

• Familiarizing themselves with our mission, values and goals.
• Researching fundraising strategies of other nonprofits, when they were at a similar stage of development.
• Create a summary of their research findings and provide examples.

Bonus steps in the process would also include:

• Assisting in implementing new fundraising activities.

By the end of the project, students should demonstrate:

• Understanding of our mission, values and goals
• Understanding of fundraising strategies used by similar organizations
• Presenting a fundraising plan proposal.

Bonus steps would include:

• Implementing fundraising activities, with approval from the Board of Directors

Final deliverables should include

• A final report with the proposed fundraising plan.

Students will connect directly with us for mentorship throughout the project. We will be able to provide answers to questions such as:

• Our mission, values and goals
• Communication with staff
• Input on choices, problems or anything else the students might encounter.
