Prospect Research
Project details
What we need

- Recommendations on areas for further exploration/research
Additional details
-Advice on various grant research databases
-Knowledge sharing on best practices for grant research
What we have in place
- We currently have our funding history, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have the possibility of a limited budget for a funding database, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $2,494 , allowing us to spend our limited staff time and resources on other fundraising initiatives, such as our first-ever gala this May.
We just went through a leadership transition which had an impact on our fundraising. Additionally, our team is 2.5 people so we have limited capacity to research new prospects. We are really hoping to connect with a few new funding prospects this year. Our team is hoping to expand to meet the growing needs on the streets of San Francisco and this is contingent on new funding relationships.
Project plan
Our mission
The mission of At The Crossroads is to reach out to homeless youth and young adults at their point of need, and work with them to build healthy and fulfilling lives.
What we do
Our innovative model focuses on young people who do not access traditional services and are disconnected from any type of consistent support. We work with young people who others have given up on, who would not get help without us. We remove common barriers to service by bringing our counselors onto the streets, and shaping our support services around the needs of each individual client. Our goal is to help our clients build outstanding lives, not just lives of subsistence.
We accomplish our mission through a combination of nighttime street outreach and one-on-one counseling, and collaboration with other service providers. We walk the streets of the Mission and Downtown San Francisco at nighttime, bringing help to our clients, rather than making them come to us. We help our clients with anything and everything they need, providing unconditional support for as long as they need to build the lives they want. We partner and advocate to make sure that there is an accessible, culturally competent continuum of care that will provide our clients with the opportunities to realize their dreams.
Testimonials
I had such a wonderful time working with Szu-han. She always followed through on her work, was thorough in explaining her thought process behind her work, and produced research and information that exceeded my expectations.
