Grant Funding Sources

Many grant seekers leave out the first step in asking for funds to complete a project. You have to have a plan before you search for support. That is true at the local level with individual donors as well as with national foundations, and everything in between. Funders will often trust you know what you’re doing with programming and that you know how to get things accomplished. They are more interested in the positive impacts that your project will have with their support. Funders purchase outcomes.
Selling the fact that your organization is the one who can delivery those outcomes means you have to have a proposal that matches the desired outcomes you are trying to create.
