Transform Your Impact: Get Funding for Results, Not Programs

Wednesday, April 24, 2013

Traditional government funding mechanisms can actually do more harm than good. Their stop-start nature means that nonprofits must forever start and then discard even promising programs. I hear this from nonprofit leaders all the time. One recently echoed: “When the grant ended, we had to stop a great service that was saving the community thousands of dollars.”

Should You Do Competitive Funder Research? Absolutely!

Wednesday, April 17, 2013

In business, each company needs to know what its competitors are doing and therefore conducts “competitive research” when developing a business plan and on an ongoing basis. You can do the same thing when searching for funders.

Keeping it Positive and Keeping it Local

Thursday, April 11, 2013

Keeping your proposals positive and locally focused isn’t always easy. Thus, it’s very important to remember, “It’s the opportunity, stupid.”

With apologies to a former presidential candidate many of our readers are probably too young to remember, I urge grant professionals everywhere to adopt this new mantra. (Okay, my mother would never allow her children to call anyone stupid, so you can drop that part, but be sure to keep the opportunity part.)
