Those in the non-profit field work hard to keep or expand funding sources in order to offer more to their community. Expanding primary prevention services can benefit the whole community though! Here are some highlights of funding sources out there and tips for writing those funding requests!
Finding Funding
Close to Home
- A community free of sexual assault benefits everyone, so talk to community organizations about how they can support prevention education.
- Potential funding partners could include Parent-Teacher Associations, local banks, public libraries, hospitals, school safety commissions, Police, Neighborhood Watch, County Government, a Governor's special council, and faith organizations.
Big Picture
- Large foundations often have substantial funds to help improve community conditions. Some large foundation grants include: the Pepsi Refresh Project, the Allstate Foundation, and the Verizon Foundation.
- Plus, there are many search engines and sites that post grants announcements. A few places to check out are Hazelden, the National Sexual Violence Resource Center.
