SW grad student intern initial fundraising help
I read the wiki! I am brand new to the nonprofit world and was asked by my graduate school supervisor to assist in developing their colleague’s nonprofit. They want to provide Kentucky residents who are going through IVF with financial assistance in the form of anywhere between $5,000-$40,000. We have filed articles of provisions, opened a bank account, and filed the federal 1023. My part is to now work on getting initial funding and fundraising started.
I have done research on other nonprofits centered around IVF and fertility across the country. They have websites, social media, and do events. I can see that they have partners listed on their websites. So, I am starting to get a grasp on how money is raised. The part I need help with is the very first thing I should do to get funding. Who do I ask and how do I ask them, etc.
