Our organization needs support researching appropriate grant opportunities and writing successful grants.
We are a humane education, animal sanctuary providing professional services to at risk youth and adults, veterans, and familys. We also train professionals in humanely facilitating inter-species interaction programs, specifically equine experiential learning and psychotherapy.
We take our Animals & Empathy program in to elementary schools and offer camps to youth and teens.
We are also interested in developing a STEM oriented project through building and managing an oxygen infused composting system. This requires monitoring of temperature and moisture for ideal outcomes. The compost would then become a retail product sold to support the nonprofit and benefit the community, while protecting the environment.
We have rescued and rehabbed animals at the sanctuary that we care for and we need to build a support fund that allows us to assist other nonprofits with animal rescue, rehab and rehoming.
There are many avenues of potential grant funding for us. We need a savvy grant writer and researcher to help us with a vision for 2016.

About One Heart Wild Education Sanctuary & ROOTS Institute
Location:
12620 Willamette Meridian Road Northwest, SILVERDALE, WA 98383, US
Mission Statement
We exist to promote the health, well-being and welfare of humans, animals, and nature through mutually beneficial relationships. One Heart Wild Education Sanctuary envisions a community that inspires healing, kindness, and advocacy through empathic relationships with all life on earth. One Heart Wild is committed to recognizing the rights of all individuals to mutual respect; acceptance of others without biases based on differences or status of any kind, including but not limited to, race, religion, sexual orientation, gender, or species.
Description
The importance of the human-nonhuman animal connection is becoming widely understood. What began as casual observations--how aquariums can reduce blood pressure or how petting a dog can reduce anxiety in nursing homes--has grown into exciting scientific disciplines. Within mutually beneficial experiences, Animal Assisted Self Development & Psychotherapy has the capacity to improve social-emotional skills, emotional intelligence, mindfulness, and nonverbal communication.
Healing and growth is a two-way street at One Heart Wild. Here, animals, many with physical and emotional wounds created by traumatic experiences with humans, are carefully selected to meet our requirements--especially those governed by capacity limitations, quality of care standards & environmental impact. With time, understanding, and a stable social environment, the animals to which we provide sanctuary not only recover, but grow an increasing capacity to help heal our human community.
ROOTS Institute represents a scientific, and ethically sound paradigm shift in animal assisted self development/ psychotherapy training. ROOTS facilitators enable mutually beneficial social-emotional growth using tested principles of psychology, ethology, and neuroscience while meeting or exceeding the Animal Assisted Therapy in Counseling Competencies developed by the American Counseling Association & Animal Assisted Therapy in Mental Health Interest Network.
