Tina Stevenson’s Post

This is well worth a read if you are seeking grant funding. Some great tips here thank you Gill Pipkin. Writing bids is time consuming and so often pressured with short deadlines. So important to do the groundwork, be prepared, read the funding criteria carefully, write in simple terms and avoid jargon, tell your story of who you help, why and the difference you will make but make sure you are answering the question being asked! Take any opportunity to build a relationship with your funder. #charity #fundraising

What a great combination! This workshop topic is always relevant, and Alexandra Schuppert, MBA and Lynn Arsenault McGinnity, MBA are among the grant professionals to whom I most often refer folks. Join if you can!

As a funding organization, your grantmaking cycle never stops—accepting applications, reviewing applications, granting funding, collecting status reports, and doing all again. It can get overwhelming without the right processes in place.    Having a predictable and consistent grant cycle will ensure your team members are able to evaluate each request efficiently.     In a new post for Engage, our Blackbaud University instructors Chrissy Haskell and Henry Wiencek walk you through what you can expect for each step of the grant management process, including some best practices on how to ensure the entire cycle works smoothly and effectively. 

Being grant ready is the first step to grants. So, How Do We Become Grant Ready?

The #1 question I received as a grant program manager was: 🤔 Are we eligible? The enquiring organisation was often technically eligible but unlikely to be offered a grant. ✨️ When you know "you" and your initiative has clearly defined activities, outputs and objectives, you can swiftly assess not only eligibility but also how strongly you're aligned to a funding opportunity. If you have a low application success rate, please get in touch. We can help you improve this and make more strategic decisions about grants. #purposeplus by Tender Plus https://lnkd.in/g7-aUHxB
