Grants Planning
We help set fundraising goals aligned with your mission and strategic objectives, using SMART Goals. Strategic Planning steps include:
- Grants Needs Assessment: Through one-on-one meetings over one to three months, we learn about your projects, goals, and needs, uncovering fundable ideas and assessing grant readiness.
- Target Funders: Using our databases and AI tools, we find opportunities that match your projects and create a grants application calendar.
- Build Relationships: We teach engagement rules with funders and reach out on your behalf to ensure project fit.

Clients access all workshops, tailored to your needs. With decades of experience, we offer live and taped WISSEN College of Grants Workshops on key topics such as grant terminology, essential elements of narratives, budgets, logic models, and AI use.
