I wish someone had shared that information with me years ago.”   John Mercer The Washington Hospital foundation Washington, PA 15301       From: Pamela Grow Date:     Dear Non-profit Professional,   How many times have you scrambled to meet a grant application deadline with minutes to spare?   Are you spending more time focusing on getting funded – at the expense of the programs and people you serve?   Do you live in a rural area where grant proposal writing training is difficult to find?   Does the thought of approaching new foundations and corporate funders intimidate you?   Are you wasting valuable time drafting tedious proposals for State, Federal and foundation dollars, with nothing to show for it but rejections and a trickle of funds? Have you ever relied on government funding, only to find out at the last minute that the funds have dried up? Has this ever happened to you?   I know I keenly remember the day I watched a program director tell ten destitute moms that the agency could no longer provide early intervention services to their developmentally delayed babies because a proposal I had written to continue and expand the program was not fully funded due to cutbacks at the state level. Maintaining that image in my mind as I pursue grant funds puts those dollar goals in perspective. I vowed to never let anything like that happen again from that day forward.   How would you like an organized proposal writing method - a system complete with every resource you needed to locate and tap into the hidden wealth of foundation funding, including an easy to use grant tracking database, AND pre-written proposal samples of funded grant proposals? Imagine being spared hours of time and frustration and getting the funding that your non-profit deserves!   If you’d like to have complete control of your operating budget, generate incredible funding for your agency’s programming – and build more programs, read on.   The Top 8 Myths of Foundation Funding: We can’t rely on foundation funding. writing a grant proposal is a tedious, time-consuming process. If you have one perfect grant proposal, it will suffice for any foundation. The “XYZ” Organization’s board member knows one of the trustees at the “Acme foundation.” We don’t know anyone. foundation grants are large and come from large foundations. They wouldn’t be interested in our modest non-profit. XYZ foundation only supports grants for education and human services. They wouldn’t even look at our arts program foundations don’t support funding for general operating support. Accepting foundation funding will compromise our programs. I used to believe a lot of these myths myself – until I developed The System that Puts Your foundation funding on Auto-Pilot. How many do you believe?   Myth #8: We can’t rely on foundation funding.   Truth: Nonsense. I‘ve worked with organizations that derive a good 70-80% of their overall budgets from foundation funding. And, while a well diversified budget is important, there is no reason why, with a well run system of developing compelling proposals and sending and tracking your grant requests and reports on a regular basis, you can’t begin relying on foundation grant funding for a major portion of your budget today!   Myth #7: writing a grant proposal is a tedious, time-consuming process   Truth. If you’re writing a grant for state or federal funding, yes, expect a long, tedious, time-consuming chore ahead of you. writing to private foundations is, however, quite another story. Certainly the guidelines vary for the assortment of foundations out there. Many are very typical, asking you to submit your IRS Letter of Tax Exemption, a project budget, audited financial statements, etc., along with these often standard questions such as: How many other funders have you approached for this project? What collaborations have you established with other organizations within your community? How many individuals do you expect to serve with this program? If you’re familiar with your organization, the clients you serve and the programs that set your agency apart from the pack, writing a proposal should be a piece of cake. Our system provides you with not only easy to use, pre-written templates and outlines for organizing your proposal, but also specific instructions on how to write truly “compelling” proposals guaranteed to get your prospective funder to sit up and take notice!   Myth #6: If you have one perfect grant proposal, it will suffice for any foundation.   Truth: Despite the similarities of many foundations grant application guidelines, every foundation is as unique in its history and mission as your organization. Learn how to create proposal templates expressing your unique benefits that can be individually tailored to match the priorities of each distinctive prospective funder’s – quickly and easily!   Myth #5: The “XYZ” Organization’s board member knows one of the trustees at the “XYZ foundation.” We don’t know anyone.   Truth: Yes, building relationships is crucial to establishing a pattern of growing foundation grants. And, yes, cultivating relationships with funders takes time. But, in one short month I was able to raise over $55,000 in foundation grant funding from foundations with which my organization had no previous relationships. Some grants were sizeable … others fell into the $250 to $500 range. I didn’t “know” anyone at any of these foundations.   Myth #4: foundation grants are large and come from large foundations. They wouldn’t be interested in our modest non-profit.   Truth: See above. A veritable plethora of smaller, little known foundations exist throughout the United States, with assets of $1.5 million or less. And by virtue of their very size they often require little more than a letter of application. Learn how to locate and target these foundations, and, most importantly, when to target them!   Myth #3: XYZ foundation only supports grants for education and human services. They wouldn’t even look at our arts program …   Truth: Don’t be too sure of that. Many development professionals make this common mistake. When I was seeking funding for a crucial component of my organization I came across a regional foundation with the some of the most specific funding criteria I’ve ever seen. My organization was health-related but we certainly didn’t have anything to do with their pet cause, Crohn’s Disease, yet I managed, with a single one page letter, to generate the funding necessary to buy expensive and very much-needed equipment.   Myth #2: foundations don’t support funding for general operating support.   Truth: Here’s a common misconception that I took away from spending six years working in programming for one of the nation’s largest foundations. My foundation did not generally support general operating costs, however nearly 70% of the family and corporate foundations in the United States DO! We’ll show you how to seek out those foundations quickly and effortlessly.   Myth #1: Accepting foundation funding will compromise our programs.   Truth: Double nonsense. You’ve no doubt read about certain larger foundations with their own agendas and programs – foundations looking for organizations they can tailor to fit THEIR programming standards. Those foundations represent a minority of the total private foundations in the country.   A nonprofit organization grounded in foundation and individual funding is better able to remain true to its mission and clients – Government funding can carry the most restrictions (and how many times have you spent weeks drafting a proposal only to have the program guidelines change at the last minute or the funds dry up altogether?!).   If you’re still reading, I know all about the daily struggles you face trying to find funding for your organization. I’ve been where you are now and that’s how I developed the System.   Let me tell you my story ...   A few years ago I quit my job with one of the nation’s top private grantmaking foundations to take on a development position with a mid-sized nonprofit agency (annual budget $3M).  My task?  To create a development department from the ground up.   I don’t need to tell you that it was challenging!   With the aid of a successful local businessman, this particular organization had run a hugely successful capital campaign just five years prior. And what had they done since?   Nothing. Not a thing. Major donors were ignored. foundation contacts lapsed. The organization belonged to some key community organizations, yet hadn’t had any contact in years. Worst of all, records were missing! Frankly I thought that I’d taken on more than I could handle.   But I decided to start out with what I knew best – writing grant proposals. You see I’d spent six years working in programming at one of the...
