We are looking for assistance in finding and completing grant applications that will help us secure funding for improving our local theatre program. I am hoping to find a student who could do research in seeing which grants may be available and then writing the applications on our behalf with our support.

We believe this project will include:

• Assist with defining a company-identified community problem and defining the scope of a corresponding project.
• Develop a needs statement that characterizes the community problem and justifies the need for our project and funding.
• Identify potential sponsors and funding opportunities that are a good fit for our organization and project.
• Interpret a request for proposal (RFP).
• Create clear and persuasive proposals for funding.

• Research, plan, write, edit, and revise a persuasive proposal narrative; or
• Research into other grant opportunities to support our cause
• Understand the needs of our local community to discern which grants are applicable

Students will connect directly with the employer for feedback and insight throughout the project.
