Project Overview

We are seeking a volunteer with business development strategy experience to help secure corporate sponsorships for the Only 11 Minutes: Girl's Leadership and Empowerment Program.

Our goal is to obtain corporate grants and sponsorships to support the funding needed for the next phase of the program’s development and expanding our reach. About the Program: Only 11 Minutes is an initiative by Saving Promise, inspired by the tragic statistic that every 11 minutes, a woman or girl is killed by an abusive partner or family member. The program empowers girls aged 13-25, a demographic disproportionately affected by intimate partner violence, with 1 in 3 experiencing abuse in a relationship.

The program focuses on:
1. Education on healthy relationships – teaching girls how to recognize and prevent abuse.
2. Leadership and skill development – helping them build confidence and life skills.
3. Mentorship moments – offering guidance from role models and professionals.

Pro Bono Project Goals:
• Develop an approach to engage corporate sponsors aligned with our mission.
• Create tailored grant proposals and sponsorship packages for these corporate prospects.
• Help us design effective outreach strategies to secure corporate partnerships and funding.

This initiative will fund critical elements of the program and scale its impact. We need a business development expert to guide us in identifying, writing, and securing corporate sponsorships.

Are you passionate about using your expertise to make real change? We need your skills to help secure corporate sponsorships for the Only 11 Minutes: Girl's Leadership and Empowerment Program. Every 11 minutes, a woman or girl is killed by an abusive partner or family member. Our program seeks to break this cycle by empowering girls aged 13-18 with the knowledge and skills to prevent violence and lead in their communities. By developing tailored grant proposals, you’ll directly contribute to raising the critical funding needed to expand the program’s reach and impact.

Why This Project is a Priority:
With Domestic Violence Awareness Month approaching, it’s crucial we secure funding to launch the next phase of Only 11 Minutes. The rising rates of intimate partner violence against young women make it urgent that we implement this program now.

How This Project Furthers Our Mission:
Corporate sponsorships will help us empower young girls to break the cycle of violence by providing education, leadership development, and mentorship.

Why This is a Good Investment of Time:
This project will have a lasting impact. Your expertise will build the foundation for a sustainable program that empowers girls, prevents violence, and creates a safer future.

We’ve made significant preparations for the Only 11 Minutes: Girl's Leadership and Empowerment Program. We have developed the program strategy, outlining three key pillars: education on healthy relationships, leadership and skill development, and mentorship moments. These elements will empower girls aged 13-18, especially from underserved communities, to break the cycle of intimate partner violence.

We’ve engaged essential partners to help develop the platform and other program elements, including community partners who share our vision. We’ve also conducted outreach to potential collaborators like the Girl’s Scouts of America to expand our reach.

Once the project is complete, we’ll implement it by launching the platform, integrating interactive workshops, pre-recorded content, and mentorship programs. We’re committed to maintaining and expanding the program over time, and we have the necessary materials, team, and dedication in place to ensure success. With the support of a skilled volunteer, we’re confident we can execute a powerful and impactful campaign that drives results.
