Details

Nature's Zeal is a social enterprise helping people in a practical way to have a healthier lifestyle and tangibly improve their health and well-being. The main goal for the project is to find and apply for available grants and funding opportunities that will help grow Nature's Zeal to be able to reach more people.


This involves:

  • Discussions with the Executive Partners of Nature's Zeal on the current gaps
  • Finding and completing suitable grant applications or funding opportunities
  • Gathering necessary information and documentation to draft applications
  • Drafting applications to submit before their due dates, so they can be reviewed and submitted accordingly in time.
Deliverables

By the end of the project, the learners should complete the following tasks:


  1. Create a grant tracker on google sheets
  2. List available grants and funding opportunities suitable for addressing gaps identified by Nature's Zeal Executives and Management team.
  3. Complete 2 to 5 grant applications for review at least 1 week in advance of the due date.
Mentorship

Learners will have the following support, learning opportunity and mentorship

  • Mentoring will be provided by their direct Manager and/or a Natures' Zeal Executive
  • Participate in an orientation session to familiarize themselves with the mission, values, and vision of the Social Enterprise and the structure as a Social Enterprise.
  • Participate in the Nature's Zeal 21-day challenges during their engagement; To support the Learner's well-being journey, the 21 day challenge will be available to the Learner at a substantially discounted rate.
  • Learners can have income opportunities, by sharing the health journey with others. When someone signs up and becomes a confirmed Champion member with the Learner's referral, $25 will be provided to the Learner, as a thanks for helping others launch on a journey for a thriving well-being.
  • The Learner may be invited to occasional Nature's Zeal gatherings or staff events.
