How would I go about funding my (after prom party, youth group, church function, drama club, etc.)?
Most small community groups and/or community efforts raise funds in diverse ways that have little to do with grants. The overwhelming majority of foundations, corporations and governmental entities who make grants, look to fund mission-driven nonprofit organizations for specific projects. Funding for local activities, community efforts, etc., often involves a fundraising campaign that is not to be confused with grant writing. Fundraising activities might include bake sales, car washes, can drives, etc. Please see “Grant Writer’s Links: Fundraising” for links to organizations that may be able to provide additional information.
