Are you a grant innovator? The impact of a grant can be significant for organisations and communities. I've seen the difference first hand as more than $62M in funds have flowed in for my clients from successful grant applications (in just the last 6 years). These clients are all grant innovators - forward-thinking people who are keen to exchange ideas, pick up on tips and techniques, and understand the correct content to include in their grant application. Whether they are a direct client, or someone involved in my courses, membership or consult sessions, they all have similar traits. -They seek growth and new grant strategies to implement so they can make a difference for their business or organisation. -They are itching to take advantage of new techniques to skyrocket their grant success rate. -They want to stand out in some way and be part of unique circle that enjoys grant writing insights, tools and resources that aren't mainstream. -They want to work with a Grant Master who is leading the way in the grant industry. -They enjoy benefits that go beyond the conventional. Every day I get to work with these people and it gives me great joy (even on especially busy days). I'm a collator, connector and disseminator of information and processes 'to make goals possible.' Being a grant innovator is easy and it will make you more competitive and impactful. If you aren't connected with me yet, send me a message and we can get that sorted. I'm even offering an Easter Special to make it easier to Get Ready For Grants. If that gets your whiskers twitching, reach out and I can send you more information. #pruesgold #grants #grantwriting

#QuestionFromANonprofitFounderSeries What should I do if my programs aren't properly developed? MY RESPONSE: if you find that your programs aren't properly developed, it is essential to take a step back and invest time in their development. A well-developed program is crucial for the success of your organization, just as a properly packaged product is essential for a business. A well-developed program not only meets the needs of its target audience but also facilitates efficient resource allocation, informed decision-making, funding attraction, sustainability, and impact amplification. To properly develop your programs, consider creating a logical program model that outlines inputs, outputs, outcomes, activities, and impact pathways. Also, you want to ensure your programs offer comprehensive solutions to your target audience's needs, while also efficiently utilizing resources. While it may be easy to get caught up in daily activities and lose sight of the bigger picture, seeking outside perspectives can be beneficial. You can choose to engage with your community, gather information, to help you make informed decisions. Other times, we are limited as far as we know and understand. Alternatively, seeking professional guidance from someone experienced in developing successful and impactful programs can help secure funding from grantors and sponsors. Regardless of the means you deploy, one thing is clear, if you sense the need for improvement in your programs, prioritize their development immediately. Your success depends on it.
