How can charities continue to serve the increasing needs of financially challenged families during a recession that reduces donations and government supports?

EducationSkills
social work economics operations innovation researchHelp an educational organization help children from financially challenged families thrive. The Education Bank is an Ontario-based organization that provides free materials and supplementary learning opportunities to financially challenged children/youth - however, like most charities today, the effect of a strained economy has significantly reduced donations. What steps can be taken to secure sufficient operating revenue to continue operations for the 1500 kids that rely on the Education Bank’s services?
The challenge for this project is to research private and public funding opportunities in order to facilitate innovative opportunities and initiatives that offer tangible and equitable assistance to racialized and refugee children/youth during a clawback in funding and in-kind support from regular donors. The research team for this challenge might have an interest or specialization in education, social work, economics, and business.
