Fundraising, and grant acquisition are essential to organizational success.
What is KeelWorks? A 501c3 charitiable foundation with a mission to get people to work - especially the economically disadvantaged. We have two active programs and one in development. The KeelWings program supports student trasition to employment. The KeelMate program helps the experienced transition from an unsustaining field to another. The KeelMaster program is our most ambitious project: it will get the most challenged unemployed to gainful employment. The KeelMaster program requires significant software development.
The Grant Acquisition
To support our mission, we need a stable of paid staff. To enable that, we need funds. The volunteers we seek will perform research to identify fundraising strategies, likely donators, foundations interested in supporting a mission like ours. They will participate in fundraising activities interesting them.
Volunteers need not be experienced, they need only be willing to learn and interested in supporting the KeelWorks mission. Volunteers will likely work from home with weekly virtual meetings (unless they happen to live on Whidbey Island).
Additional elective role responsibilities:
- Sends initial contact to intern applicants.
- Obtains resume and screens applicants per criteria provided by the program managers (e.g., a graphic art intern must have minimum graphic art competence).
- Schedules initial meet and greet.
- Hands off onboarding to the respective program manager.
- Monitors intern/volunteer participation to ensure no ball is dropped.
- Alerts program manager where intern or volunteer needs attention.
KeelWorks has a core of volunteers, but no paid staff and no funds. Volunteers participate for two reasons: They believe in the mission and they want to advance their career. KeelWorks gives volunteers a chance to practice in the role they would like to pursue as a career. We have graduate level instructional designers without experience building learning content for KeelWorks. In return, KeelWorks allows them to put this experience on their resume as a job. We provide a job reference and speak to prospective employers without discussing work capacity or pay. We also have PM interns and data analyst interns.

KeelWorks is in immediate need for internship coordinators to enter data on new and departing interns. Those who wish to do more can take on as much or as little of the tasks above as they wish.

Mission Statement
To support a better world with better citizens by fostering learning competence, emotional intelligence, and networked intelligence. KeelWorks especially wishes to bring greater participation to the economically disadvantaged across the globe. We are building a system to support upward mobility.
Description
KeelWorks is a 501c3 foundation. Since 2008 hundreds of graduate students and unemployed workers, reached gainful employment while helping KeelWorks build structure for change. We want to end poverty across the world, changing one life at a time. The KeelWings program for recent students and the KeelMate program for transitioning workers apply their learning while gaining experience supporting the KeelMaster program development. This experience reflected in a competent resume - with our guidance - qualifies them as a credible job applicant. The KeelMaster program is designed to support employment for the more challenged unemployed. This program begins with barrier identification and mitigation, assigns participants facilitated teams where they learn core competencies, ending with goal determination. They access training, and while doing so, join paid internships. Mutual support, core competencies, application, and clear and objective progress metrics support measured results. This structure for change will be replicated over and over across the globe. While other programs give the needy fish, we teach teach them to fish.
