Project details
What we need
- Grant Template outlining the Organization’s mission, strategic plan, activities and budget
- Tips and suggestions on customizing Grant Template for specific grants
Additional details
We are looking to streamline our grant writing process so we can accomplish our development goals in Tanzania by reaching out to several more foundations over the next few months. We are hoping that a helpful grant template will assist us in this mission and help us to secure additional funding from these institutions.
What we have in place
- We have a mission and strategic plan of how we want our organization to grow. We have some institutional support from approximately 6 foundations currently, and a list of potential foundations we would like to get involved with. We have a development team responsible for growing institutional and donor support through community networking and grant writing.
How this will help
This project will save us $3,640 , allowing us to Provide 19 weeks of food for our second campus.
We are currently in the process of a capital campaign to build more campuses in rural Tanzania as well as wanting to start an endowment. For us to be able to fund our current and future operational budgets as well as the accomplish our campaign, we are seeking to increase the amount of institutional support by receiving funding through grants. A grant template would help us concisely describe our various programs and allow us to apply to a greater amount of foundations.

Our mission
Mainsprings personifies the hope and joy seen in the eyes of East African children and families who are mastering the life skills necessary to break the cycle of poverty and create a sustainable future for themselves and their community.
Mainsprings provides compassionate, lasting innovative change via safe refuge, education, healthcare, and economic sustainability through agriculture. Like a nurturing family, Mainsprings creates an environment where children are empowered to develop lifelong skills. Day-in and day-out, with the partnership of staff, donors, volunteers, and local villages, Mainsprings makes possible a new, hopeful reality for East African communities.
What we do
Mainsprings aims to alleviate extreme poverty in rural Tanzania by using a campus model focused on education, healthcare, economic development through agriculture and refuge for vulnerable and orphaned girls. With one campus fully developed and a second campus in the primary stages of construction, we are hoping to affect the live of thousands of Tanzanians every year at each campus. Our fully developed flagship campus currently provides a nationally ranked primary and secondary schools for 400 boys and girls. It harvest over 2.5 tons of produce every month from a specially designed permaculture farm, as well as delivering several community seminars each year for local small hold farmers. The healthcare facility sees over 1,400 patients annually and works with the local government that provides primary care, specific health seminars and testing for the community. The refuge program doesn't just provide immediate relief in the forms of a home, healthcare and education, but also supports them all the way through tertiary education.
