EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Child of Mercy Foundation is seeking funding through this grant proposal to support children with rare cancer and their families. Our foundation aims to provide timely and effective medical treatment, financial assistance for travel and accommodation, and comprehensive support services. In this proposal, we outline the purpose of the grant, which is to address the challenges faced by children with rare cancer and improve their quality of life. We provide background information on the special campaign, highlighting the urgent need for targeted interventions and the significant impact they can have on the lives of these children. The campaign focuses on three key areas: medical treatment and care services, travel and accommodation assistance, and support services. We explain the objectives of the campaign, including providing specialized treatments, funding the multidisciplinary care team, offering emotional support programs, and assisting with educational resources. To support our case, we present statistics and facts on rare childhood cancers and share a personal story of Toby, a child who battled with a rare cancer. These narratives emphasize the importance of early detection, timely treatment, and the long-term benefits they can bring. The budget allocation section provides a breakdown of how the funds raised through the campaign will be used. We allocate 60% to medical treatment and care services, 20% to travel and accommodation assistance, 15% to support services, and 5% to administrative and operational costs. This ensures transparency and accountability in our financial management. We highlight our commitment to financial transparency and accountability, as well as our evaluation measures to assess the impact of our programs. We also mention our existing partnerships with medical institutions and experts, as well as the potential for collaboration with other organizations in the field. 4 www.childofmercy.org [email protected] Our long-term vision is to continue supporting children with rare cancer beyond the campaign. We outline strategies for sustainability, including ongoing awareness, advocacy, and support initiatives. By raising awareness and mobilizing resources, we aim to create lasting change in the lives of these children and their families. In conclusion, the Child of Mercy Foundation requests your support in this grant proposal to make a difference in the lives of children with rare cancer. Together, we can provide the necessary medical treatment, financial assistance, and support services, giving these children the opportunity for a brighter future. 5 www.childofmercy.org [email protected] 1.0. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Overview of the Child of Mercy Foundation The Child of Mercy Foundation is a charitable organization founded with a strong commitment to compassion, integrity, and transparency. We are dedicated to improving the lives of impoverished children around the world, providing them with essential support, opportunities, and resources. Our mission is to empower these underprivileged children, enabling them to break free from the cycle of poverty and achieve a brighter future. At the helm of the Child of Mercy Foundation is Meir Shvartzberg, a philanthropist who has witnessed both the successes and shortcomings of charitable organizations. Inspired by these experiences, we have established a foundation that operates with utmost accountability and responsible stewardship of funds. Our organization focuses on addressing the critical needs of impoverished children in areas such as health, education, shelter, and basic necessities. We understand that these interconnected aspects are vital for the overall well-being and future prospects of children living in poverty. We work tirelessly to provide immediate relief to children by addressing their basic needs, including access to clean water, nutritious food, and healthcare services. Additionally, we are committed to ensuring that children have access to quality education and educational resources, equipping them with the knowledge and skills they need to overcome the barriers of poverty. Advocacy is a crucial aspect of our work. We actively raise awareness about the challenges faced by children in poverty and advocate for policies and programs that address their needs effectively. We believe in the power of collective action and collaborate with like-minded organizations, government agencies, and community stakeholders to maximize our impact.
