Funder List

Purpose: To practice locating grants from various sources, and to be able to connect organizations to funders.

Task: Students will select a nonprofit organization of their choice, and use available resources (including tax forms) to evaluate existing funding sources. Based on this information, students will develop a list of 3 additional potential funders including their name, what they fund, the range of funds, the grant cycle, and how they are connected to the selected nonprofit. *Note: you can select grants from an organization that has already funded your selected nonprofit, but the specific grant has to be for a different project (can't be a re-application for a grant that was already awarded to them before).

Criteria: A written document including a brief discussion of the nonprofit that was selected (including the mission of the organization), and a list of 3 funders (in table format), including the information below. Under "connection", explain why you believe this funder is appropriate, including a brief presentation of projects or organizations they have previously funded, if available.
