Details

We are looking for assistance in finding and completing grant applications that support our mission and vision statement.

We believe this project will include:

  • Researching relevant grants from a variety of sources (government, foundations, corporate).
  • Identify potential sponsors and funding opportunities that are a good fit for our organization and project.
  • Interpret a request for proposal (RFP).
  • Improve the clarity and persuasiveness of our company's grant proposal writing.
  • Reviewing and editing existing grants and applications.
Deliverables
  • Research, plan, write, edit, and revise a persuasive grant proposal for one or more funding opportunities (time dependent)
  • Research into other grant opportunities to support our cause
Mentorship

Students will connect directly with the employer for mentorship and supervision throughout the project. Students will have the opportunity to work directly with the Executive Director and gain valuable insight into non-profit management and fund development. The Executive Director will provide direct input into projects and evaluate the project as it progresses.

Kids On Track is a community-building organization that provides hope, direction, and ongoing support for children, youth, and their parents.
Educational, social, spiritual, and recreational elements are combined to deliver well-rounded programs. We cultivate relationships, encouraging participants in faith, character and leadership development, social skills, and a healthy lifestyle. We strive to support families experiencing limited opportunities due to various socioeconomic challenges.

Since 1992, we have expanded our programs to respond to changing needs in the community and new opportunities to help at-risk kids and their families. We currently have more than 1,000 participants actively engaged in our programs. Our volunteer base has grown to a team of more than 314 volunteers who collectively contributed 4,469 service hours in our last fiscal year (Sept. 1, 2018 – Aug. 31, 2019).
