Tips - For Fundraising
Proposal Writing
If your organization wishes to pursue major funding or sponsorship from corporations, foundations, government or selected individuals, it will take a thorough understanding of proposal writing to be successful.
A proposal must be clear and simple, and technical language related to your group's operation should be avoided. Each section of the proposal should be no longer than a page in length. Short proposals - with just a few sentences or key points under each heading - can be just as effective as long ones.

Consultations Available
One of OnTRA's mandates includes providing support and learning opportunities to its member centres about a variety of topics - whatever they require. Although OnTRA organizes formal clinics and presentations around the province, more informal consultations are also available. So, if your centre needs assistance with something like fundraising, contact OnTRA at president@ontra.ca to see if one of our own Association's members or directors can help you.
