Grants funding to help fulfil your mission

There is little that is more frustrating for charities than spending dollars on fundraising programs that aren’t cost effective. Strategic Grants provides a free assessment of your organisation’s readiness to be successful in winning grants. You can self-assess here, or give us a call and we will talk you through it.

Strategic Grants firmly believes in increasing your organisation’s capacity to implement, manage and sustain successful programs. Therefore, our services are focused on providing you with enduring resources and training to build internal knowledge and expertise. The service suite is designed to work with non-profit organisations at whatever level is required, and in alignment with available organisational resources.

Streamlining your grants strategy for greater success

Let’s face it, raising funds to help your non-profit organisation achieve its mission is hard work! And winning grants from philanthropic and government sources is no different. The grants environment is dynamic and highly competitive. Strategic Grants recognises this and focuses on your organisation’s readiness to embark on a successful grants strategy and on building the organisation’s capacity to implement and manage a successful grants program.

Certainly applying for and winning grants from both government and philanthropic funding bodies can be a highly cost effective strategy for charities and non-profits to raise funding for important projects. But it can also be wrought with frustration if performed in an ad hoc, uncoordinated manner without incorporating strategic thinking and planning.

Strategic Grants first looks at whether your organisation is in a position to win grants, before recommending a strategy that will help you increase your success rate and achieve funding to help your organisation fulfil its mission.

The Strategic Grants Grant Calendar

Save endless hours of research and wasted applications with the Strategic Grants Grant Calendar - a unique offering, providing you with 10 years of grants experience and in depth research and interactions with funders. Your tailor-made grants calendar is specific to the funding needs of your charity or non-profit organisation. From a list of projects that you require funding for, we will provide you with advice on which funders are the best prospects for which projects, to ensure that you are only submitting applications to real funding prospects.

All this is provided to you in an easily sortable Microsoft Excel grants calendar, into which you can add your own grants history and success with funders, so that you have a central, enduring file recording your organisation’s grants strategy. Or we can maintain the file for you and provide you with either monthly or quarterly research updates and strategy planning advice.

Your grants calendar is tailored to suit your organisation’s requirements, to ensure a targeted and strategic approach to grant applications.

For a complimentary, obligation free consultation as to how Strategic Grants can help your organisation secure funding to fulfil your mission, please contact us today. We look forward to talking to you.
