You’ve probably heard that “there’s money out there” for non-profits and they should “just look for a grant,” but that can be an overwhelming process. Where do you start?
The fact is, there are 1.5 million non-profits in the United States. According to the Foundation Center, in 2018, more than $62 billion was funneled to these non-profits from federal and state government agencies, private foundations, and corporations.
There is money out there. Van Kooten Grant Consulting can help you prepare for grants, research the right ones for your organization, write the grant narratives, and manage grant funds once they’re received.
GRANTS
Is your organization ready to apply for grants? Do you have the basic paperwork rounded up? Have you applied for the right DUNS numbers, SAM numbers, and IRS designations? Is your grant team in place? We’ll help you get your “ducks in a row.”
We can sift through the dozens of databases available, using your unique metrics and find the right grant opportunities for your organization. Clients will receive a document outlining possibilities with all of the relevant information (dates, deadlines, approach, dollar amounts, mission, etc.) outlined.
You may want someone to write the entire application from start to finish. Or you may just want an extra set of eyes to look over the budget or the narrative. We’ll work with you to provide the services you want and need.
Once you receive the funds, your work is just beginning! Grantors have strict requirements on how funds are spent, how often reports need to be made, and what documentation is required. Neglecting these can mean your organization won’t be funded again. Let us help you ensure that the reporting requirements are met and exceeded.
