Grant Research & Proposal Development for SFNA

By the end of this project, the volunteer will deliver a grant development package that positions the Society of Future Nurse Anesthetists (SFNA) to pursue funding for its education, mentorship, and healthcare workforce development initiatives.

The deliverables will include:

- Grant Prospect Research: A list of 5–10 potential foundation, corporate, or other grant opportunities aligned with SFNA's mission, including eligibility requirements, funding priorities, typical award amounts, deadlines, and application links.
- Prioritized Funding Recommendations: Identification of the top 2–3 opportunities most appropriate for SFNA, with recommendations on which programs or initiatives should be positioned for funding.
- Grant Readiness Assessment: A review of SFNA's existing materials and identification of any information, documentation, program outcomes, budgets, or other materials needed to strengthen future applications.
- Reusable Grant Proposal Framework: Development of a core organizational narrative, statement of need, program description, goals and outcomes, and other reusable content that can be adapted for future grant applications.
- Priority Application Support: If a suitable opportunity and deadline are identified within the project timeline, assistance preparing or reviewing one priority grant application.

Success will mean SFNA has a clear, actionable grant funding strategy, a prioritized list of realistic opportunities, and reusable materials that reduce the time and effort required to pursue future funding.
