Help Turn Community Ideas Into Sustainable Programs
The Graffiti Lounge Mobile Graffiti History Museum at Container Village in West Philadelphia
Strong community programs require more than good ideas. They require research, planning, measurable goals, organized documentation and funding strategies that connect the organization’s mission with the priorities of foundations, corporations and public agencies.
Volunteer grant writers and grant-research interns can help The Hip Hop Foundation identify appropriate funding opportunities and communicate the value of programs that use Hip Hop culture, music, media, education and live events to create opportunities for Philadelphia communities.
Depending on experience and current project needs, volunteers and interns may assist with research, writing, document preparation, funding calendars, program narratives, evaluation plans, budgets, letters of inquiry and grant reporting.
Assignments will be based on the applicant’s experience, availability and areas of interest.
