Grant Research

PROFESSIONAL GRANT RESEARCH

Feel like researching grant opportunities is the last thing you have time for? Thinking you are missing out on funding because you don’t know where to look?

We get how essential every minute of the day is, which is why we won’t waste time on applying for grants that aren’t a good fit with yours or the funder’s mission and goals. The key is finding the right grants in the first place.

How We Can Help

Don’t waste your time applying for grants that aren’t the right fit for your organization. Let us do the legwork and find the right grant for you.

Step #1:

We start with the research

After an introductory call with you about your organization and funding needs, we do a thorough search through ALL the grant databases at our disposal (we subscribe to the very best ones) and leverage our insider knowledge to find grants that fit your organization. We take the time to read through intricate funder guidelines to make sure the opportunities we present to you are the best fit possible, and honestly enjoy doing it!

Step #2:

WE CREATE AN “OPPORTUNITY LIST”

This working spreadsheet is customized just for your organization and holds all of the great grants that we found specifically for you! It includes the funder name, specific details about how they align with your mission and goals, amount you should apply for, and any specific notes that will make your proposal shine. It’s built to be updated as new opportunities arise, making it easy to adapt into your organization’s current grant prospecting practices.

Step #3:

WE PROVIDE YOU WITH A FUNDING MATRIX

Our Funding Matrix is your roadmap for which grants to apply for and when. It’s your guide to securing the funding you need throughout the year to remain sustainable. It’s also set up to be a great way to keep track of which funders have approved your requests, which ones have not, and the next steps. We’ll set you up for success on how to develop and utilize this during our training, or we’ll implement it as we work alongside your team. Either way, it’s a valuable addition to your financial success with minimal stress!
