Resources, support, and access

Partnerships & Funding

This team secures the money, relationships, access, and opportunities required to make the project possible.

Operational Goal

The Partnerships & Funding team is responsible for securing the financial resources, institutional relationships, support, access, and opportunities required to make The High School Project possible.

Going question

Which people, institutions, resources, and opportunities can help make the project’s work possible, and how do we secure their support?

Its immediate priority is funding and monetary partnerships.

  • Identifying and assessing funding opportunities.
  • Maintaining a funding and partnership pipeline.
  • Preparing grant applications, proposals, concept notes, sponsorship materials, budgets, and supporting documentation.
  • Conducting outreach to prospective funders and partners.
  • Building and maintaining institutional relationships.
  • Matching partnership opportunities to actual project priorities.
  • Coordinating information required from the other teams for applications and proposals.
  • Tracking application deadlines, conversations, commitments, follow-ups, and reporting requirements.
  • Ensuring that partnerships advance the project’s objectives without distorting its purpose or creating obligations the project cannot fulfil.
