Fundraising Plan
True North Outreach Foundation (TNOF) will pursue a diverse and sustainable fundraising strategy to support our mission of empowering veterans, educators, and the next generation through purpose-driven mentorship, emotional wellness, and leadership development. Our fundraising efforts are rooted in relationship-building, authentic storytelling, and aligning with donors, organizations, and grantmakers who share our vision of stronger communities through mental health support, personal growth, and service-based leadership.
By focusing on both veteran reintegration and educational empowerment, we aim to cultivate long-term partnerships that invest in the well-being of individuals and the collective strength of our communities. Funding will directly support peer mentor training, school-based programs, community outreach, and the development of impactful resources for those we serve.

Corporate Sponsorships and Workplace Giving
We will partner with local and regional businesses, such as healthcare systems, construction firms, manufacturers, and service organizations, to sponsor our Motivational Leadership & Mentoring Events, leadership development workshops, and community mentorship initiatives. These purpose-driven programs are designed to support employee well-being, strengthen organizational culture, and extend impact into the broader community.
Branded sponsorship opportunities are available at keynote speaking events, veteran outreach initiatives, school-based programs, and public gatherings, offering corporate partners high-impact visibility and alignment with a mission that uplifts individuals and strengthens communities.
We also welcome participation in workplace giving campaigns, allowing employees to directly support True North Outreach Foundation’s work in building stronger, healthier futures for veterans, educators, and the next generation.

Grants
True North Outreach Foundation (TNOF) actively pursues federal, state, and private foundation grants that align with our mission to support mental health, suicide prevention, leadership development, reentry services, and community-based mentorship.
We seek funding opportunities that expand our veteran outreach, school-based programming, and purpose-driven initiatives that strengthen emotional resilience across generations.
With doctoral-level research expertise, Founder Orion Jones leads the development of data-informed, outcomes-based grant proposals designed to deliver measurable impact and long-term community value.

Individual Giving Campaigns
True North Outreach Foundation (TNOF) will launch seasonal and year-round fundraising campaigns to engage individual donors in meaningful ways. These efforts will include Giving Tuesday initiatives, end-of-year appeals, and a monthly donor program designed to foster long-term support and relationship-building.
We will share personal stories, veteran and student testimonials, and measurable outcomes to highlight the real-world impact of our programs. By putting faces and names to the mission, we aim to create a deep emotional connection with donors who want to be part of restoring purpose and building stronger communities.

Event-Based Fundraising
True North Outreach Foundation (TNOF) will host mission-aligned fundraising events such as motivational breakfasts, men’s mental health summits, wellness retreats, and community golf outings. These gatherings serve a dual purpose: raising vital funds while building community, expanding our network of supporters, and raising awareness for veteran and youth mental health.
Each event is designed to inspire action, share stories of transformation, and connect donors directly to the lives they’re helping change.

Online and Social Media Fundraising
TNOF will make giving simple and accessible through donation buttons on our website, social media fundraising tools (e.g., Facebook Fundraisers), and integrated giving platforms. We will develop compelling video content, personal stories, and digital campaigns to bring our mission to life online, inviting donors to be part of something bigger.
Our goal is to meet supporters where they are and turn everyday clicks into lasting impact.
