Non-Profit Funding

Catalog description

This course will guide the student through effective fundraising strategies for non-profit organizations including grant writing, partnerships, event planning, and digital fundraising strategies. In this class a student will have the opportunity to initiate conversations with people in the community to understand the type of funding needs common to a private or public entity. From their research and networking with people, the student develop a fundraising plan, which must include a grant proposal, in an effort to raise a predetermined amount of money to assist the group or organization. The student's efforts will not be limited to fundraising. For the purpose of developing empathy, the student will be encouraged to participate in the organization's activities to better understand the people he or she are serving.
