Fundraising
We provide two essential fundraising services to our clients. Both of these services are value-added and can be acquired through a fee-based contract.
- Technical Assistance:
Families and Schools Together, Inc. will help your agency obtain funds
from competitive grant opportunities as well as from private
foundations. Our services and collaborative approach will greatly
increase your chances of receiving an award. Check out our News section
updated with
information about funding opportunities.
FST offers assistance in your grant-writing project including custom sample budgets for program-related budget concerns, help with the narrative, specialized data information, assistance with reviewing application drafts, support letters, etc. If you are interested in including FAST in a proposal, please contact us to begin! - Sustainability:
Nearly every grant for local prevention and intervention programs is
based on a temporary need. It is always expected that the recipient will
find local, regional, national private and public sources of funds to
perpetuate your good works. However, most service providers and schools
have a difficult time finding funds to maintain and protect their programs.
General sustainability plans are built into the FAST curriculum however FST can help you create a more project-specific plan including, but not limited to developing your own local trainer, local fundraising, finding alternative funders, incorporating FAST team member and coordinator positions into full-time positions, etc. - Search Assistance: FST offers a complimentary Foundation Funding Search Assistance program.
We subscribe to a service that allows us to look through highly
specialized service directories to find a great deal of Foundation
Funding sources. Though we pay for this service, we offer searches to
our potential clients, partners, and current clients at no cost. Our VP
of Research performs all of the searches and sends the results to you to
then contact about funding availability and application information.

We can help raise the funds you need. Our fundraising services are a collaborative arrangement in which revenue is apportioned to cover some of the fundraising outreach costs. We use ethical and practical methods to help you raise the funds needed to deliver our programs. Please contact us for more information.
