  • 1.  Do you offer grant writing/fundraising help for your projects?

    For anyone who actively helps their projects find and apply for grants or gives them advice and support on fundraising, what is your experience? How do you go about this support and what do you think of the approach? We have a grant writer who is working directly with projects to help them identify grants and guide them through the grant writing process. Our reasoning is our projects are relatively small and not familiar with nonprofit grant writing, so supporting them gives them a chance to get off the ground more smoothly.

    We provide fundraising and some grant writing support. Our organization does fundraising for our operations, so we offer guidance, toolkits and promotions on social media for our projects, and try to provide resources to help them skillup in fundraising so they can be empowered to do this on their own as well. We also provide grant writing support to projects that are not well resourced and provide review and editing for most grants our projects want to apply for. We usually are more involved in public/federal grants so we can be sure our administrative costs are covered in the budgets. This strategy works well for us, but we recently found there are more grants than staff have time for, so we’ve been interviewing grant writers who can consult with us on one off grants/projects.

    Hiya Whitney! We have luckily been able to receive a grant to support the fundraising program for our projects that we piloted last year. We have consultants that provide a spectrum of support to projects - writing grants, creating templates/collateral, strategic advising. Here’s my email address - andrea@movementstrategy.org - and I can connect you to our Advisor who is leading the program to learn more! Attached is the deck that she and our Director of Biz Ops recently presented at one of the weekly FS sessions.
