Whether you’re starting a nonprofit organization or fundraising for an existing nonprofit, grants are one of many options for funding or expanding a special project or program. There are many nuances and complexities to nonprofit grant writing, and it can feel like the world of grant foundations is a world unto itself.

Absolutely love this! I definitely echo everything you said. Grant writing and funding is really crucial to my organization to build a stronger infrastructure so we can act on the vision we sit out for.
It can be a challenge for sure!

The “who you know” barrier is huge and has always been a problem for the neediest, smallest and less well connected organizations.
I agree! It's hard. I think it's about human nature though; you're more likely to support someone you know and trust. So we have to figure out how to build trust with people. Think about it from your own perspective - are you more likely to give to a stranger or a friend?
Thanks would it be advisable to hire a Grant Writer to get started?
Hey Robert, that's totally up to you! I am of the mindset that anyone can teach themselves grantwriting if they are so inclined, but doing it well does indeed take some time and practice.
I feel like your my real life hack teacher
Ha ha, thanks!
Thank you for your videos they are really informative,, l have recently registered a NPO in Zimbabwe BUT i think i need fundraising Mentor for me to get the organization off the ground.Any linkages of such mentors or such Groups in Zimbabwe or South Africa,,,,Any help along such lines ?Thank you
Hey there! I'm afraid I don't know of groups like that, but there are so many great resources online! Start by thinking specifically about the questions and challenges you have, that will help narrow it down.
Can you ask for donations for your company's reserves, instead of for the cause?
Supporting your nonprofit's operating costs is still supporting the cause! If your organization goes under in a disaster because it didn't have any operating reserves, then you can't help the community. So, having some savings is smart AND helps you stay afloat if there is a community crisis (like COVID, which wiped out a lot of nonprofit's funds...)..
@@AmberMelanieSmith totally agree. Thanks.
In your experience, which type of grantmaker has the lowest paperwork burden?
Just a guess / observation, but probably smaller private foundations.
I once interviewed someone who was a grant manager at a foundation and she told me that one of their policies was to reject any applicant who didn't respond to an e-mail within 24 hours at any stage of the process. This wasn't made transparent to applicants.
Yikes... that seems kinda problematic... what if the org is dealing with an emergency or out serving clients? Hopefully that foundation has adjusted their policies!
I imagine that they'd show understanding if there's an emergency. I don't know if any other foundation would be so strict, but the person who told me said that it changed the way she responds to grant managers.
Great little inside.knowledge to.have!!! Thank u! ...even if this is not true..it definitely would not hurt, only help if u stick to this rule!
1 Can I non profit file a clam on BLM land for mining 2 does the work that a 501c3 do require a paten or trademark like on the ground braking ideas 3 is their 501c3's that can do the trade mark for free or reduced cost 4 can i spend money for my corp to build it or am i to give money to it and what wood that be called 5 how can i find a Lawyer for both nonprofit board construction and Paton trade mark law and is their nonprofits that do this for free.
I am not familiar with land use / laws around that. A 501c3 is not the same as a trademark though, so you'd need to approach that separately.
