In November of 2016, I created a nonprofit organization business proposal along with three other students as an assignment for our Nonprofit PR class.
The assignment was to create an entire nonprofit organization from scratch and provide the following: an organization name, mission statement, write out the core values, establish missional programs, identify the target audience, find a location, create a business model, introduce the start-up staff, write a launch communication plan and provide objectives, identify the key message and slogans, identify the
various communication tactics and establish a timeline.
I spent a lot of time on the design of the website and business proposal, but we all equally worked on the content of the proposal.

CORE VALUES
Genuinity:
To inspire the desire to know the truth about
oneself and the surrounding world. This
includes seeking an objective awareness of
personal strengths and limitations. To be
oneself in all situations.
Community:
Encouraging growth between peers for the
purpose of ongoing mutual support and the
creative enhancement of each other.
5. The Factory:
Weekly events are held here with the purpose of
providing the opportunity to engage with Christ in
a new way. This open event space will also be used
for large community events monthly. These events
will seek to connect people of other generations in
order to promote a unified community to
ultimately change the outlook of millennials to
those in the older generations. This event space
can also be rented out for local events such as:
concerts, meetings, conferences, etc.
Every Sunday at 3 PM, The Factory will be
reserved for Unconstrained’s Weekly Christ
Encounter. This involves a time of worship, small
group discussion and intentional relationship
building.
Office Space:
A communal work place to think and
engage with fellow millennials during usual
business hours. This includes daily topics
concerning current events that are prevalent in
today’s society. This will encourage the
spiritual and mental growth of millennials on a
daily basis and empower them to change the
way the world views them in their daily
actions.

SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS
The vision of this organization is inspired by the stigmas that have been
placed on millennials by culture, themselves and members of older
generations. The goal is to cultivate creative ideas through a free exchange of
different opinions and passions while simultaneously encouraging a Christ-
centered atmosphere. Unconstrained wants to bring generations together to
create a more positive future by shifting the view of millennials to be more
positive.
