How would I find funding to construct an outreach program for youth (white and native) a small town?

Question

I have the experience to construct a program but have no idea how I would possibly obtain funding or who I would write to or anything.

any ideas? This is a B.C. interior town

Answer 1

Before you file any paperwork, you need to get a very impassioned group of people together who support your idea and will provide some start up funding and serve on the board of directors, you need to get letters of endorsement from existing organizations saying this program is needed,  you need to have data that shows your target group is in need whatever service it is that you want to provide and that they are not served otherwise, and you need to have a draft of what your first year's budget would look like (what expenses you expect to incur, what you expect to pay staff, etc.)

This site has information on starting such a program in both the USA and Canada
