Why your grant strategy isn't working
|
Hey Reader, If you’ve been applying for grants and hearing nothing back—you’re not alone. Grants are becoming more and more competitive - especially with recent changes to federal funding and attacks on the nonprofit sector. Here's the truth: Most grant strategies fail because they’re built on cold outreach, no relationships, and a hope-for-the-best application cycle. Grants can be a powerful source of funding, but only if you approach them with the right strategy. Here’s what I recommend instead: 1. Stop chasing every opportunity. 2. Build relationships before you need them. 3. Use your current materials wisely. 4. Don’t put all your eggs in the grant basket. If you're overwhelmed with the prospect of grants and don't want to start from a blank page, the Ultimate Grant Bundle has everything you need to create professional proposals, track key details, and follow up like a pro—all while saving you 30%!
Here’s what’s included in the bundle: 🌟 Grant Proposal Templates (Google Docs & Canva): Professionally designed 15-page templates with sample text, customizable for your needs. With these templates, you’ll save time, make a stronger impression, and increase your odds of securing funding. Let’s make your next grant application count! Cheers,
