Non Profit Grant Blog

You’ve said you need money. But that’s not what donors, including government grants programs, are looking for.
How many people do you serve?
What programs do you offer?
What expertise does your staff and volunteers have?
What results has your organization been responsible for, and how have these results been tracked/measured?
What difference in the community does your organization make?
What is your current budget/expected expenditures?
When were your finances last audited?
How many women do you serve that aren’t Christian?
Do your services use religion as part of your work with the community? What does that mean for women who are not Christian?

You need to have all of this information available on your web site and in a printed proposal. You need to invite potential donors, including government representatives, to come on site and see the good work you are doing. You need to get some press coverage for your work. You need to create the idea that donating to your organization is an opportunity to invest in the community.

If your organization serves only Christian women, and uses religion in its services, it would be best if you pursued Christian donors — these are best reached through churches.
