Description

* Researching and connecting with potential donors through organizations and foundations
* Creating proposals targeted at donors
* Creating a sponsor program for the children living at the center
* Help to raise funds to pay teacher's salaries

Highlights

Since the Ebenezer Orphanage Center cannot afford to hire full time teachers to teach it's three classes of children volunteers are needed to help fill this gap. The center also lacks care workers for the permanent children at the center.
As Ebenezer's funds begin to dissipate, committed volunteers are needed to help with the development and growth of the organization.

Qualifications

Any development or fundraising skills/experience that could be shared with the founder and the center would also work towards moving the center forward towards self-sustainability.
