What You Need To Know About The Grant Process

A major grant is not an isolated event in a nonprofit’s history. Rather, it should grow out of the organization’s mission and strategic planning. The grant project should complement your existing programs and strengthen the organization itself. Developing the grant proposal follows a series of steps shown below.

Grants Northwest works with your staff to match your goals with a foundation’s interests or a government “Request for Proposals (RFP). Together we design a project that will be both fundable and produce the best results for your organization and your clients. Then we develop each of the proposal components and write a proposal that has the greatest chance of getting funded.

We can come in at any part of the process and help your organization to develop successful proposals, although the earlier we get involved the better the results.
