Project Description:
We will provide management services including but not limited to fund raising, grant writing, report writing and follow-up, outcome studies and general program support. This will allow the organizations to focus on its mission without being distracted by administrative functions. This also provides economies of scale for a number of small organizations that could not afford or have the infrastructure to maintain these services properly. this would allow 100% of the funds they receive to go to programs while the administrative functions are handled by our organization.
Measurable Outcome Anticipated:
Will be able to measure an increased scope of the number of clients served and increased quality of services provided to clients. It will allow currently underfunded Faith Based initiatives to expand their services to the homeless, mentally ill, substance abusers, domestic violence victims, and families in need of these services.
