Hello everyone, my name is Camille Jackson and I’m the founder of We Are The World, A Purple Heart Proj, Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit providing community outreach services in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and Dallas, Texas. Our mission is to support individuals and families experiencing hardship by providing meals, clothing, hygiene supplies, and outreach haircuts to help restore dignity and confidence. I’m currently looking to connect with volunteers, community partners, and others involved in nonprofit work who may be interested in sharing ideas, collaborating, or supporting outreach efforts. Volunteers are welcome, especially those interested in helping with community outreach, haircuts, hygiene kit distribution, or meal support. Thank you for allowing me to be part of this group and I look forward to learning and connecting with others. Camille Jackson We Are The World, A Purple Heart Proj, Inc.

Hi everyone, I’m currently researching grassroots grant funders for my 501(c)(3) nonprofit focused on food insecurity and workforce readiness. I’m especially interested in smaller foundation or community-based funders that support early-stage organizations. If you’ve successfully secured grassroots or community grants, I would really appreciate any guidance on: • How you identified potential funders • What databases or platforms you used • Whether you focused on local, regional, or national foundations • Any lessons learned in your first successful application Have you had success with smaller family foundations or corporate community grants? Thank you in advance — I truly value shared insight and real-world experience.

Hi, thank you for accepting me into the group. I appreciate the space you’ve created and look forward to being an active, respectful member.
