Project details

What we need
  • Assessment of current donors, volunteers, beneficiaries and other constituents to pinpoint people who are interested in serving your Organization
  • Informal staff and board interviews to survey potential connections and/or leads
  • A document of up to ten pages that lists potential board members based upon your Organization's data and current audiences
  • Note: The Professional will not be communicating with prospective board members.
Additional details

What we have in place

Our mission

The Emily Shane Foundation believes that all students deserve the opportunity to attain their best academic potential. Our flagship SEA (Successful Educational Achievement) Program provides intensive, individualized mentoring/tutoring support to at-risk, failing middle school students who could not otherwise afford this much needed help. Students who fit our profile often head down the wrong path, suffer low self-esteem, act out, etc. Our SEA Program provides them with the positive support and guidance to change attitudes, motivation and ultimately, guide them towards a better future. We are making a difference in children's lives.
