Grant Winning from the Ground UP

Where’s the funding?

If the following is true about your organization, we can help you fund it:

• Running a charitable, mission-based nonprofit?

• 2+ years of operation?

• None or few grants ever received?

• Less than 20% total revenue spent on fundraising?

• 5+ Board Members with professional backgrounds?

How you build a winning grant pipeline from scratch…

Has your organization considered or attempted obtaining grant funding? Maybe you calculated “it’s all about who you know” but didn’t know where to start. Maybe you figured “we’ll hire an experienced grant writer” but experienced high costs and and little to no returns.

The difficult truth is that however deserving, grant funding is about who you know. And, whatever the price, most experienced grant writers meet technical requirements while failing to convert.

But how did all the grant winners get where they are today? It’s a small community relative to the total number of deserving nonprofits out there. And there are three primary reasons why the winners are winning:

• They are a funding-first nonprofit that started with an important relationship and plenty of capital.

• They started long enough ago that the grant landscape was far less competitive.

• They built a winning ground game at low cost and leveraged “sweat” and small successes to grow their network.

  (there’s also a few that are just plain lucky)

We focus exclusively on the last of these, introducing you to a large number of organizations and coaching you to build your network. Opportunities cultivated via our cost-effective, foot-in-the-door approach mean you experience a low costs to entry with high revenue upside.
