Details

We are a social enterprise start up looking for assistance in finding and completing grant applications that support our mission and vision statement.

We believe this project will include:

  • Assist with defining a company-identified community problem and defining the scope of a corresponding project.
  • Develop a needs statement that characterizes the community problem and justifies the need for our project and funding.
  • Identify potential sponsors and funding opportunities that are a good fit for our organization and project.
  • Improve the clarity and persuasiveness of our company's grant proposal writing.
Deliverables
  • Research, plan, write, edit, and revise various grant opportunities to support our cause
Mentorship

Students will connect directly with both co-founders for mentorship and supervision throughout the project. We have worked extensively with students and have a great system in place to ensure adequate support is provided.

Borrow Me Baby is a parent-to-parent baby gear rental community.

Our mission is to create a sustainable online network that supports families by saving them time, money, and energy as they navigate the challenges of parenthood. We achieve this by connecting parents in local communities to lend and borrow baby items. Our platform handles communications and financial transactions securely and doubles as a community review site to help parents decide what’s best for them.

We’re motivated by our core values of accessibility, inclusion, and sustainability. To foster accessibility, BMB offers both web and mobile-friendly platforms. There are no barriers or fees to join. Borrowers can access high quality baby goods without the hefty price tag and long-term commitment, while families can recoup costs of their items when not in use e.g. between children.
