Good Works Grant Writing

This October 2024, we're thrilled to celebrate the start of Good Works Grant Writing's 14th year of operations!

To date for our clients’ Fiscal Year 2024, we have raised more than $15 million for #AZNonprofits. What started with just one person (Bethany Taylor, our Founder & President) in 2011 has now grown into a dynamic team of 19 #GrantWriting experts, bringing a combined 330+ years of experience in the #NonprofitSector. We’re proud of the #GoodWorksTeam's proven track record, and we love celebrating the recent wins of our incredible clients: https://lnkd.in/gwsKmbcV.

#CapacityBuilding is the process of strengthening the skills, knowledge, and resources of individuals, organizations, or communities to achieve their goals more effectively. It involves identifying and addressing gaps in their capabilities and providing support to develop new skills or improve existing ones. Capacity building is essential for #nonprofits to achieve their mission, operate effectively, and make a lasting impact on their communities. Good Works Grant Writing's #ProGrantTip for nonprofits seeking #CapacityBuildingGrants is to clearly demonstrate how the #grant will improve their organization’s long-term sustainability and impact. #Funders are often more willing to invest in capacity-building efforts if they see that the proposed activities, such as staff training, technology upgrades, or strategic planning, will address specific organizational challenges and lead to measurable improvements in program delivery or operational efficiency. Quantifying anticipated outcomes, such as increased clients served, improved retention rates, or enhanced fundraising capabilities, can also help build a compelling case for why your organization is a sound investment.

Before beginning to draft a #GrantApplication, Good Works Grant Writing's #ProGrantTip is to thoroughly research the #funder's grant evaluation process, gathering information about the types of individuals that will conduct the evaluation, the evaluation rubric (if publically available), and any other useful details. Tailoring #GrantProposals to the funder's specific evaluation process can significantly increase the chances of winning a #grant and helps ensure the funded project is well-aligned with funder expectations throughout its lifecycle. #Proposals that reflect an understanding of the funder’s evaluation methods tend to be clearer and more focused. #GrantWriters can structure their objectives, methods, and evaluation plans to align with the expected reporting and accountability measures, which makes the proposal easier to review and increases the likelihood of approval.

#GeneralOperatingSupport (or #GOS) grants secure funding that provides #nonprofits with unrestricted funds to cover their day-to-day expenses and support their overall operations. #GOSGrants are highly sought after and typically more competitive than #ProgramGrants. For #GrantWriters developing #GOS #GrantProposals, Good Works Grant Writing's #ProGrantTip is to diverge from #GrantWriting approaches focused solely on #programming. Instead, highlight the organization as a whole, illustrating the overarching #TheoryOfChange associated with your nonprofit's mission. Be sure to "zoom out," comprehensively portraying your #nonprofit's operations and goals. Learn more #ProGrantTips by following @GoodWorksGrants and our #ProGrantTips hashtag!

Good Works Grant Writing's #ProGrantTip is to carefully tailor your #GrantNarrative to the #FunderPriorityAreas of each #Funder. Aligning your #GrantWriting to one or more specific #FundingAreas increases your chances of success by demonstrating to #funders that your project directly supports their mission and objectives. Clearly address their key focus areas, building credibility and illustrating that your organization understands and respects their strategic goals. Tailoring your #GrantApplication to the interests of the funder not only enhances your chances of receiving funding, but also fosters long-term partnerships. Ultimately, the goal of invoking funder priorities is to show #GrantMakers the ways that funding your #nonprofit will yield mutual benefit — advancing both your mission and theirs, while making a greater impact in the community.

Good Works Grant Writing is thrilled to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of Soldier's Best Friend becoming a #GoodWorksClient! Soldier’s Best Friend's mission is to provide U.S. military veterans living with combat-related Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) or Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) with Service or Therapeutic Companion Dogs, most of which are rescued from local shelters. The veteran and dog train together to build a trusting relationship that touches two lives at once and inspires countless others. Since being hired by Soldier's Best Friend in September 2014, the #GoodWorksTeam is proud to have helped this incredible #nonprofit to raise more than $1.5 million in #GrantFunding. Our partnership has been truly rewarding, knowing that together, our two organizations have been able to make a tangible difference in the lives of countless Arizona veterans living with PTSD and TBI. Thank you to Soldier's Best Friend for a phenomenal 10 years, here is to 10 more! Learn more about Soldier's Best Friend at https://lnkd.in/gfrbDztd.
