We are Embrace Abilities, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, dedicated to fostering meaningful connections and empowering families of children with different abilities. We are seeking an experienced professional to update our business plan and budget to reflect our actual programs, initiatives, and first-year financials.

Our current business plan was created without a solid foundation and does not accurately represent our operations, goals, or financial situation. With a clearer understanding of our programs, partnerships, and financial data, we need a professional to align our plan with our current and future vision.

Scope of Work: 1. Business Plan Update:
  • Revise the plan to reflect current programs and future initiatives, including:
    • Teen/Young Adult Group (launching June 2025).
    • Sib Shops (support for siblings of children with different abilities).
    • Voices of Support Podcast.
    • Babysitter Voucher Program.
    • Sensory Toolkits Initiative.
  • Highlight our mission, vision, and unique features (e.g., free services, parent-led initiatives, inclusive approach).
  • Update target market, partnerships, and competitive analysis.
  • Incorporate 2025 goals, such as strengthening organizational structure and expanding community presence.
2. Budget Development:
  • Analyze first-year financials and create a comprehensive budget for 2025.
  • Allocate funds across program areas based on actual operations and projected growth.
  • Provide a clear breakdown of revenue streams (e.g., donations, sponsorships, grants) and expenses.
3. Grant Writing Foundation:
  • Identify key areas in the business plan to support future grant applications.
  • Suggest strategies for presenting programs and impact to potential funders.

Deliverables:
  • Updated business plan (Word or PDF format).
  • Detailed 2025 budget with clear allocations (Excel or PDF format).
  • Recommendations for grant writing and fundraising strategies.
Qualifications:
  • Proven experience in writing or updating business plans for nonprofits.
  • Strong financial analysis and budgeting skills.
  • Understanding of the nonprofit sector, especially organizations serving children and families.
  • Excellent communication skills and ability to synthesize information into clear, actionable plans.
  • Experience with grant writing or fundraising strategies is a plus.
Additional Information:

You will be provided with:

  • Current business plan.
  • First-year financial data.
  • Details of programs and initiatives.

Mission Statement

Embrace Abilities is dedicated to empowering differently-abled children and young adults, ages 3-17, and their families by fostering inclusivity, connection, and growth. Through engaging social events, caregiver support, and community-driven programs, we create spaces for fun, friendship, and advocacy while equipping families with tools and resources to thrive.

Description

Embrace Abilities was founded with a mission to create a supportive and inclusive community for differently-abled children and their families across the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Inspired by the desire to ensure no child feels left out or unsupported, we serve children aged 3-17 through free, family-focused programs and events.

Since our incorporation in April 2024, we’ve proudly served over 100 families, providing opportunities for connection, learning, and celebration. We host one monthly meetup, alternating between indoor and outdoor events, designed to foster social skills and meaningful relationships for both children and their families.

Signature programs include Birthday Buddies, where we celebrate children’s birthdays during meetups to make every child feel special, and Coffee with Caregivers, a space for parents to recharge, connect, and gain insights from guest speakers.

As we continue to grow, we’re working to establish a more stable leadership model to ensure we can sustainably meet the needs of the families we serve. Our goal is to build on this foundation, creating even more opportunities to celebrate and support differently-abled children and their families in the years ahead.

We’re always looking for passionate volunteers to join us! Whether you’re interested in event planning, engaging with families, or helping behind the scenes, there’s a role for you at Embrace Abilities. Together, we can create a brighter, more inclusive community.
