About the Project

3

Problem:

  • Project Oz is lacking brand recognition and donations to continue their efforts in the Bloomington-Normal communities. �
  • Employees are spread thin and marketing gets neglected.

​

Solution:

  • Project Oz can form a partnership with another local non-for-profit organization or an institution such as Illinois State University �
  • This will create additional opportunities for both organizations to promote themselves and the duties they serve.

​

“During the 2019-2020 Rotary year, our club donated approximately $15-20k to organizations that are doing good throughout our community. Rotary strongly supports youth exchange programs, hygiene, promoting peace, growing local economies, supporting education, and helping mothers and children.”

​

“With 60+ members in our club, many members are involved in clubs outside of our Rotary club. They bring back causes that our club can back and support.”

-Chanel Renkosik

Ottawa, IL Rotary Club

“We are striving to grow the stereotype of being an “old man’s club.”

“Competitor collaboration increases the likelihood of an event’s success. Non-for-profits like these are operating for one common goal, and that is to increase the likelihood of young adult education and success.”�

  • Big Brothers Big Sisters of America

“A partnership with a competitor may seem illogical at the start, but it opens new avenues for each company to explore. It’s benefit does not pertain only to the present, it will increase creative thinking for future individual events.”�

  • Big Brothers Big Sisters of America

“A partnership could help identify struggles on ISU’s campus & brings to light improvements that could be made like students struggling to know how and why to get resources.”

​

“This opportunity could allow us to be more forward facing with outreach & educational programs that could assist others who are also low-resourced or have had their budgets dramatically cut due to COVID-19.”

-Amanda Highland, ISU staff member
