Research Research Research
Much of what I have done as an intern is research. I have researched many grant and partnership opportunities and methods to make Wish of a Lifetime more prominent on social media. Through this research, I have compiled a master list of hashtags that Wish of a Lifetime will be able to continue to use after I complete my internship.
EOY Material
This time of year is the time of giving. Therefore, the EOY campaign is focused on securing donations through all digital media. I assisted my supervisor in working through the database where all submitted wishes are held. I sifted through wishes to compile a list of granted wishes that could be featured on any in our campaign. I also helped write shortened versions of the wish stories to be featured in our campaign.
Wish Story
Wish of a Lifetime grants many wishes a year. Seniors have done everything from commemorating their service through revisiting Pearl Harbor, to fulfilling lifelong dreams such as going skydiving at 100 years old. With all the wishes we grant, we have to share the seniors' stories as they are inspiring to all generations.
Grant for Intergenerational Connections
At Wish of a Lifetime, one of our goals is intergenerational connections. One of my tasks was writing a grant to further this goal. I wrote a grant for a program that is not yet in place. I was informed of the general idea and did research on the details of this proposal. The result was the six-page grant attached below.
Interdepartmental Cooperation
Throughout my time at Wish of a Lifetime, I had the opportunity to coordinate with the marketing department. I compiled a master list of hashtags and had the opportunity to write a wish story for the Wish of a Lifetime website.
