Membership Strategy

Project details

What we need
  • A Membership Strategy document of 2-4 pages, including analysis of the Organization’s current membership program, step-by-step guide to a new or improved program, growth goals and creative outreach strategies
Additional details

Rise Together has a Mailchimp account of past mentors and current partnerships that are 'lost human resources' because the students graduate from high school and/or college. We need to tap into the mentor alumni for content development, guest speaking and most critically fundraising efforts. We currently do not have a plan and our organization needs to create an avenue for sustainable donations.

What we have in place
  • We currently have contact information of the people we would like to approach, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have Director's time, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $5,848 , allowing us to build a clear plan for the future that capitalizes on the growth of our organization and funding needs.

Sustainable fundraising and mentor alumni communication so our graduates are not lost resources.
