Grants are an essential component of nonprofit fundraising. Last year alone, hundreds of billions in grant awards were awarded to nonprofits across the United States from private and government sources. Grants allow nonprofits to increase their program capacity, start new programs, diversify their organization’s funding sources, and improve financial stability.

1. Sustainable Funding Strategy: Funders often require nonprofits to demonstrate sustainability through diverse and stable sources of funding outside of grants. Charlotte can help analyze if your organization is a good candidate for grants, and develop a strategy to create a funding pipeline.

2. Grant Preparedness: Organizations will see more success with fundraising if they have accurate data, budget information, project details, and supportive documents on hand.

3. Project Planning: Grants often require extensive detail, foresight, and planning. Charlotte can help connect your project ideas into a clear proposal.
