Local Donation Funding Schedule Compilation
The Kamloops Therapeutic Riding Association (KTRA) aims to enhance its funding strategy by understanding the donation cycles of local companies and corporations. The project involves researching and compiling a comprehensive spreadsheet that details when these organizations allocate their donation funding. This will enable KTRA to strategically plan their outreach efforts and maximize potential funding opportunities. The project requires learners to apply their research and data organization skills to gather accurate information from various sources, such as company websites, press releases, and direct communication with corporate representatives. The goal is to create a user-friendly and easily updatable resource that KTRA can utilize for future fundraising initiatives. This project will provide learners with practical experience in data collection, organization, and analysis, aligning with their academic program's focus on business administration or nonprofit management.
