Proton Development Fund - 2010 initiatives
The Proton Foundation launches a new Development Fund as it looks to build organisational capacity in order to pursue exciting new initiatives and opportunities for community transformation across Europe.
2010 Project Development Fund Initiatives
Alongside existing projects, the Proton Foundation is building orgnisational capacity in 2010 in order to carry out feasibility studies and project development work in the following service areas:
|
I. COMMUNITY REGENERATION Waste to Energy Solutions - Europe Affordable Housing - Romania Combating poverty through community transformation - Romania
II. BUSINESS & SOCIAL ENTERPRISE Family Entertainment Centres - Europe Sport In Acton - Romania Franchise/Business Opportunities - Romania & Bulgaria
III. EDUCATION & TRAINING National Leadership Development Training - Macedonia Courses for young people not in education, employment or training - Europe |
The Fund Facilitates: - the identification of new initiatives that further the mission, values, aims and objectives of the organisation. - the exploration of potential project opportunities as and when presented to the organisation. -research and feasbility studies of new projects. - the development of special project business proposals, including building strategic partnerships and identifying funding strategies. - the set up and initial operational costs of pilot projects, with the aim of creating a reproducible sustainable project business model. |
Once projects are fully operational and capable of financial sustainability, the Proton Foundation will look to explore a means of generating an income stream back to the organisation in order to reimburse the Development Fund, or generate resources for loans and grants to other partnership organisations looking to develop new initiatives. [It is recognised that this may not be possible in every business case.
The Proton Foundation Development Fund seeks to raise finances through sponsorship and donations to enable the organisation to facilitate the development of new initiatives, where no initial project set-up funding has been identified or secured to otherwise drive the initative forward.
Without the valued support of individuals and companies through donation/sponsorship it would be difficult to pursue many of the opportunities that come to the Foundation. Financial donations, however small, will enable the Foundation to pursue the development of new community transformation initiatives right across the continent of Europe.
