Successful grant applications result in not only financial support but also visibility, credibility, and organizational development. How do you approach grant applications? Is your approach reactive, deciding to apply when a grant opportunity arises, or do you have a well-defined grant strategy? Depending on your resources, you might opt for an ad-hoc approach, but this is less effective than having an intentional grant strategy. Grant Prospect research sets the stage for success.
In contrast to an ad-hoc approach, grant prospect research refers to the systematic process of identifying and evaluating potential funding opportunities for an organization. It involves gathering information on various grant-making entities, assessing their priorities and guidelines, and determining the suitability of each opportunity for the organization's goals and projects. The goal is to create a targeted list of potential funders that align with the organization's mission, increasing the chances of successful grant applications. Prospect research also includes analyzing the history, giving patterns, and preferences of potential funders to tailor proposals effectively.
Grant prospect research empowers your organization to make informed decisions, strategically pursue funding opportunities, and ultimately increase your chances of securing grants to support your mission and initiatives.
This varies depending on your resources and the time allocated to the research if you’re doing it internally. Fox Grants’ prospect research process typically takes 4-6 weeks to complete.
All projects with Fox Grants start with a kick-off meeting to ensure alignment with your consultant. We engage in an in-depth review of your vision, and priorities, including interviews with staff and/or subject matter expert(s).
Utilizing a variety of trusted resources, we identify and synthesize prospects into a prospect matrix that includes critical information on each funder. Everything is then presented to you in a final report with recommended next steps.
Grant prospect research is a fundamental component integral to a successful grant strategy. It serves as the compass guiding organizations toward targeted opportunities, ensuring that valuable resources are invested wisely. By tailoring proposals to align with the priorities of potential funders, organizations not only increase their chances of success but also build foundations for enduring partnerships.
