Doggie Doo Rag, a company specializing in innovative pet accessories, seeks to expand its operations and product offerings through strategic grant funding. The project involves identifying suitable grant opportunities that align with the company's mission and goals. Students will research various grant databases and funding sources to compile a list of potential grants. They will then evaluate these opportunities based on eligibility criteria, funding amounts, and deadlines. The goal is to create a comprehensive grant strategy that Doggie Doo Rag can use to secure funding for future projects. This project allows students to apply their research and analytical skills in a real-world context, enhancing their understanding of grant writing and funding acquisition.

The deliverables for this project include a detailed report listing at least five potential grants that Doggie Doo Rag can apply for, complete with eligibility requirements and application deadlines. Additionally, students will draft a sample grant application for one of the identified opportunities, demonstrating their ability to articulate the company's objectives and needs effectively. This project will culminate in a presentation summarizing their findings and recommendations, providing Doggie Doo Rag with actionable insights and a clear path forward in their grant-seeking efforts.
