==Build Long-Term Relationships With Current Foundation Partners==


A nonprofit organization sets themselves apart when they are able to demonstrate what tangible benefits a foundation's investment made in the world. This is an excellent tactic we can use to build long-term relationships with foundations and other supporters, so that we can move into multi-year pledges of support and long-term financial planning.

Strategies for 2013

Grants Campaign

Modular Grant Writing System

Grant applications and letter of inquiry templates use a small set of common questions. In response, most grant writers use a 'boilerplate', a versatile outline of answers to these common questions, as a starting point. We are essentially adopting this practice, but our Modular Grant Writing System allows for collaborative review and workshopping of the language through the use of Google Docs.

Development Advisors

We will develop a network of advisors who work in the field of nonprofit development and who support our mission to act as advisors guiding our grants campaign.

Build Long-Term Relationships With Current Foundation Partners

A nonprofit organization sets themselves apart when they are able to demonstrate what tangible benefits a foundation's investment made in the world. This is an tactic we can use to build long-term relationships with foundations and other supporters, so that we can move into multi-year pledges of support and long-term financial planning.

Attain First Government Grant

Government funding happens in stages, where small pilots that can prove their outcomes warrant larger investments in the future. This pool of funding grants us access to new networks of advisors and technical assistance. We will strive to receive our first government grant this year.
