The Simple Process
Our 3 step approach to charity fundraising
We have simplified the process of creating an effective fundraising campaign.
Here are the three essential steps to building partnerships with foundations before submitting a funding application:
Research
Identifying foundations with a similar vision is crucial to finding a fundraising partner. Simplify your research process with a comprehensive search engine that empowers you in the first stage of fundraising.
Our Approach to Foundation Research
Conducting foundation research can be challenging due to the lack of publicly available information. With Grant Advance, your charity can overcome this challenge. Using our grant search engines, you can browse through registered foundations and the grants they’ve awarded to similar charities in your own backyard. Our search engine gives you quick and easy access to all the information you need for your fundraising campaign. At a glance, you will see how much each foundation is willing to award, where they award their funding, and which sector they primarily support.
Write
When it comes time to writing grant documents many charities do not know where to start. As you can imagine, any industry worth billions of dollars have developed its own culture and industry standards, and the non-profit industry is no different. We often receive questions about what documents are required, what information needs to be included, and how to communicate with a foundation. We understand that approaching a foundation for the first time can seem intimidating, but it is actually quite straightforward.
Our Approach to Writing Grant Application Documents
Foundations are not hard to approach; each one requires the same basic information and expects a similar format when you apply for funding. However, from the perspective of a new charity, this may not be as evident. That is where we come in! Working with Grant Advance allows you to benefit from our professional experience in fundraising with the use of our document generator tool. With our document generator, you can easily prepare industry-standard documents for contacting these foundations. Sounds simple, right? That is because it is!
Relate
This may come as a surprise, but connecting with individuals who support your cause is not entirely difficult. It’s a great idea to simply reach out for an initial conversation. Foundation directors are just like you and me. Put their role aside and connect with them as ordinary people. Yes, they hold a lot of power in the foundation and the industry, but before all that, they are individuals that care about their community. Grant Advance helps you make that first step, helping you reach out and build those valuable connections.
Our Approach to Building Strong Connections
The first thing you want to do is network with foundations that you may already have a relationship with. If you believe in the work of your charity, spark up a conversation. This is the time to blow your own horn – show your passion and commitment to the cause you champion.
Thankfully, existing relationships are not the only way to establish a connection. If you do not have a prior connection, consider cold calling. As it currently stands, a vast majority of charities rely on us when it comes to establishing connections – and so do foundations, because is looking for a meaningful connection.
Using our research and writing tools, we help connect you with these foundations and kickstart a valuable conversation. Remember, foundation directors are in their position because they want to support charities, and they want to make a difference – just like you.
