2)  Sustainability and funding resources  - @CYC Frank- feel free to edit

Best Approach
Partnering for the future
Visibility - first need to be visible in communities - street clubs - cokmmunity agencies, churches, - check local access - Human Equity - partnership with corporate: not just social service but value of human equity: helped employ -
Corporate
Banking system - looking for financial literacy - you send your tellers and managers - Key: Visibility - start with Bank Managers - Teach online Banking - Local Partnerships - leads to intoduction from Funding Dept: even if starting small it could lead to larger grant: - PNC is BIG on children -
Most institutions have a funding dept. that has $ allocated for outreach - Wise managers looking at numbers - how many students that are going through program that are potential customers
Once relationship is established they’ll invite you to the meetings where other funders will be : be mindful you may be solo and you’ll need to keep your passion and step out the boat
when you go to funders you are not begging your offering an exposure opportunity and partner
