Enhancing Brand Equity, Social Capital, and Funding Streams

Skillcity Institute is on a mission to elevate its brand equity, boost social capital, and secure new funding sources to advance its mission. We invite student groups to collaborate on various activities grouped into distinct categories for streamlined coordination. We have organized these activities into categories to provide a clear framework for students to choose and coordinate their projects effectively.

Fundraising & Grant Writing

Our organization is interested in addressing societal issues and supporting social causes. However, we are currently facing funding challenges. We would like to collaborate with students to find and complete grant applications. This will involve several different steps for the students, including: Familiarizing themselves with our vision statement and a project we have defined. Developing a needs statement that characterizes the community problem and justifies the need for our project and funding. Identifying potential sponsors and funding opportunities that are a good fit for our organization and project (prospects research). Improving the clarity and persuasiveness of our company's grant proposal writing. Developing a Case for Support and other fund development assets; such as expression of interest templates, value proposition statement, logic model, impact statements, grant budget template, infographics, etc. Writing multiple funding proposals addressed to corporate sponsors and other potential donors. Bonus steps in the process would also include: Identifying new opportunities for community projects.

Social Enterprise Financing Strategy and Implementation Model Plan

The main goal for the project is to create a financing strategy and implementation model plan for Skillcity Institute's social enterprise venture, launching a VR Gaming arena as a franchisee in Edmonton Alberta Canada under Another World VR Gaming Franchise. The plan should integrate well into the current market and align with the organizational and fund development goals of Skillcity Institute. This will involve several different steps for the students, including: - Conducting market research on the VR Gaming industry in Edmonton Alberta Canada. - Analyzing the financial needs and goals of the social enterprise venture. - Developing a financing strategy and implementation model plan that aligns with the organizational goals of Skillcity Institute. - Creating financial projections and forecasts for the VR Gaming arena franchise. - Identifying potential sources of funding and investment for the venture. - Assessing the financial risks and opportunities associated with the venture.
