Module 5 - Grant

I am currently working on a grant proposal to start a food bank for our students located right on campus. If you have been on the FSU campus you have probably seen or heard about the nest. I am hoping to start something similar to this at my new school. 

Below is an at risk chart we have started to evaluated some at-risk factors for our new and current student population. as you can see employment and financial are our 2 highest at risk factors currently. My thought with this is food is probably the last thing on our students minds. Are they getting food to eat and nutritious food at that? This is what really got me starting to think about this as a need and how I could help. 

So I am going to write my grant for the Sam’s Club Community - Hunger Relief & Healthy Eating Grant. My goal is to keep this bank completely free of cost and receive all donations from the community. I am asking for $1500 to start the food bank. 

I am going to integrant free online technology for this grant as well. I am looking to currently use google docs and survey monkey for the technology. We have access to a computer already for this as well as internet. 

I am starting to reach out to the local minor league baseball team about support us with starting this bank. I would love for them to set up donation bins as well as maybe partner on a few games for fans to receive a discount if they donate items.

This currently might just be an assignment but I have all intentions of submitting this after wards and hope to eventually have a food bank available for our students.
