We need to identify grantor organizations that fund 501(c)(3) adaptive sports programs serving disabled U.S. military veterans nationwide. Specifically, we must find grantors that provide non‑matching funds to support operations and program requirements for our standing and sled teams, and that serve disabled veterans, Purple Heart holders, and active, retired, or separated service members.
We are looking for a volunteer with Grant Writing and prospect-research expertise to compile and prioritize grant prospects for USA Warriors Ice Hockey Program. The volunteer will:
- Compile an initial inclusive list of grantors that match our criteria and provide, for each grantor, its full identification and website.
- For each grantor, document the types of grants they award (operations and/or project/programmatic) and confirm whether they require matching funds.
- For each grantor, identify the application timing cycle (dates application opens and closes) and the typical timing between application submission and award decision.
- For each grantor, research and summarize any history of prior or similar grants awarded and other relevant information that would support an application.
- Deliver a final, prioritized list ordered by application timing cycle with open/close dates, award-timing notes, and a qualitative probability of success for a USA Warriors Ice Hockey Program application.
- Coordinate with our Board of Advisors member Mark Adams, who will provide background on prior grants and support validation of findings.
