Fundraising

Fundraising serves as the sustenance for the AguaClara Team. Through our work, we develop relationships with potential donors as well as seek and evaluate grants for all aspects of the organization. In essence, Fundraising is responsible for the financial security of AguaCara's interests both domestically and abroad.

Our team works closely with Public Relations subgroup of outreach when it comes to seeking potential donors. The Outreach Contact List showcases the organizations we have contacted as the Outreach Team. The relationship between P.R. and Fundraising is essential due to the fact that many donors come from potential PR contacts and vise versa.

We have also formed a grant writing team charged with filling out grant applications throughout the semester. This team also develops Grant Writing Guidelines in order to facilitate the efforts of future Fundraising members. The mist current efforts of the grant writing team are listed on the Grant Short List, which is updated frequently as grants come and are submitted. If you seek further information on our grant seeking and writing efforts please visit our Grants page.

You can find further information on the work of the Fundraising and Public Relations teams on the Outreach Resources page.
