How I'd manage grants if I had no team
|
Hey Reader, It doesn't matter if your budget is $10,000 or $100,000,000, chances are at some point you feel like you are balancing multiple jobs with limited resources and somehow, even less time. So how do you get the job done when you don't have the human resources to do it? The solution? A killer project management tool (without spending thousands on fancy software!)
It sounds too simple, but I can guarantee that the reason organizations are missing out on funding opportunities is not because they don't really need that funding, but because they missed a deadline, forgot to follow up, or didn't track next steps. I see it all the time. So if you are a mighty team of 1 and need help managing your grants, here's what I'd do:
You can absolutely create this on your own. But if you don't want to start from scratch or if you want to make sure you have something that is proven to work, you can check out the Grant Tracker Template. It’s exactly the tool I used to manage $20m+ in grant funding and proposals without support. What’s inside:
If you’re trying to stay on top of grants without losing your sanity, this is a total lifesaver. You don’t need a big team or a big budget, you just need a solid system. Let me know if you grab it - I’d love to hear how it works for you! Cheers, Certified Fund Raising Expert (CFRE) P.S. The grant tracker is 1 template out of 5 included in the larger Ultimate Grant Package bundle. You save 30% if you purchase it in the Bundle today! |
