How to Find Foundation Grants

Your winning foundation grant proposal starts before you write the first word.

It starts with solid grant research. You want to ask the right funder for the right amount at the right time.

How to find grant opportunities for your nonprofit.

Do you know which foundation grants are the "best" for your nonprofit?

Just like you, grantmakers have specific goals and interest areas...and limitations.

It's critical to match your organization's mission and your program's goals to the grantmaker's giving priorities. It's also important to know a foundation's capacity for giving so you'll know if they are able to give at the level you're seeking.

Solid research is the first step to your grant success.

Laura has access to up-to-date information from more than 100,000 U.S. foundations, and she uses this information to find qualified grant leads for your nonprofit.

Once you've identified your best prospects, your next challenge is deciding how much to request from each individual foundation. A common mistake is to ask for what you need instead of what the funder is likely to give.

Your chances for grant success improve dramatically when you ask the right funders for the right amount at the right time.

What nonprofits say...

Because of Laura, our grant pipeline is strong. Our proposals are extremely well-written and our reporting detailed - and always on time!

Not only is Laura very knowledgeable about nonprofits, but the grant prospect research reports she provided our board are excellent and practical.

Laura's work to help us identify foundations that may fund our work filled an important gap for us. She is professional, and her work is thorough and well researched. I have already recommended her to several other nonprofits, which speaks to my high opinion of her work and of her.

It is so time consuming to research grants, and having Laura put together a full report on each prospect was extremely valuable to our organization.
