Details

Our organization is committed to serving our target population. However, we are currently facing funding challenges.

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.
  • Familiarizing themselves with our past fundraising activities and donors.
  • Conducting background research on fundraising strategies.
  • Recommending suitable fundraising strategies and creating a timeline / calendar of these activities.

Bonus steps in the process would also include:

  • Assisting in implementing new fundraising activities.
Deliverables

By the end of the project, students should demonstrate:

  • Understanding of our mission, values and goals
  • Understanding of our fundraising history
  • Understanding of fundraising strategies used by similar organizations
  • Creation of a fundraising plan

Bonus steps would include:

  • Implementing new fundraising activities

Final deliverables should include

  • A final report with a new fundraising plan.
Mentorship

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
  • Our previous fundraising activities
  • Input on choices, problems or anything else the students might encounter.

The Harris Brand Foundation will work with like-minded individuals from the private and corporate sectors to curate meaningful and impactful sponsorship opportunities for its qualified donees. Our mission is to advance education by providing publicly available scholarships, bursaries, and other forms of financial assistance to At-Risk youth and Student-Athlete individuals pursuing elementary, secondary, or postsecondary education.

Through the Harris Brand’s Mentorship and scholarship opportunities we plan to address these characteristics and social risk factors affecting these marginalized youth and their respective families. Supplementing fees for educational purposes WILL eliminate added financial burden most families experience in At-Risk/High priority neighborhoods. Even though the majority of funds raised will be allocated to At-Risk Youth, all qualified student-athletes are eligible to apply for our scholarship.
