We are looking for assistance in finding and completing grant applications that support our mission and vision statement. At 5n2, our mission is to fight food insecurity in our communities by envisioning equitable access to food supports in marginalized communities.

This project will include:

  • Assist with defining a company-identified community problem and defining the scope of a corresponding project.
  • Develop a needs statement that characterizes the community problem and justifies the need for our project and funding.
  • Identify potential sponsors and funding opportunities that are a good fit for our organization.
  • Improve the clarity and persuasiveness of our company's grant proposal writing.
Deliverables
  • Plan, write, edit, and revise a persuasive proposal narrative
  • Research into other grant opportunities to support our cause
  • Research grants specialized in non-profits
Mentorship

Students will connect directly with the employer for communication, mentorship and supervision throughout the project.

5n2 was founded by Seema David in 2013 after she witnessed the horrific scenes of homelessness and hunger in downtown Toronto. Determined to help her community, Seema began to serve soup three days a week. 5n2 Kitchens was born, operating out of a shared space at the Global Kingdom Ministries church kitchen.
In early 2019, 5n2 moved into its own space where food operations expanded to keep up with the growing issues surrounding food insecurity. Programs operated seven days a week providing the community with over 3500 meals per week to guarantee fresh, healthy, and nourishing meals.
However, as a non-profit, 5n2 is continually challenged with sustaining services. At the end of last year, 5n2 was forced to relocate preventing services to operate at half capacity. As a result, 5n2 requires donor outreach and publications to spread awareness about the hunger crisis. Students are encouraged to apply to join the cause in helping feed the community!
