Prioritizing Grant Opportunities
Most organizations believe they should be pursuing grants. Determing which ones are the best match, let alone what it takes to be competitive can be overwhelming. That’s where I come in.
How I Approach Institutional Giving
Landscape Knowledge
I determine which funders are active in relevant spaces, which are strong fits for your organization, and how to prioritize applications for efficiency and results.
Story and Case for Support Development
Before any proposals go out I work with your organization to get to the heart of what you do to strengthen your submissions.
Prioritizing & Sequencing
I develop your grant plan with deadlines, funder priorities, and strategy aligned so you're pursuing opportunities deliberately.
Submission
I work alongside your team to submit applications and build the systems and tools to support future grant seeking. I can also recommend talented grant writers, if needed.
What Shifts
Some organizations approach grants reactively, applying to whatever looks relevant before the deadline. What changes with a real strategy is that the work becomes deliberate. You're pursuing the right funders, in the right order, with the right story.
A prioritized prospect list
Organized with deadlines, requirements, and fit notes so you're not starting from scratch every new cycle.
A grant template you own
Core organizational content ready to adapt for individual applications, built for your team to use independently.
Applications out the door
At least one grant proposal gets submitted during our time together — so you understand the process from start to finish and have everything in place to keep going.
