The Grant Game Plan Program
The Execution of a Grant Strategy & Development Action Plan
A 6-month intensive program to get your organization grant-ready, strategically aligned, and actively fundraising — and positioned dto be potentially funded through competitive grant opportunities. Essentially, you're finally hiring a Grant Writer!
​
Program Overview
The Grant Game Plan is designed for mission-driven organizations that are ready to stop winging it and start winning. Whether you’re a newly established nonprofit or a seasoned 501(c)(3) looking to upgrade your development efforts, this 6-month contract provides the structure, tools, and expert support you need to move from overwhelmed to organized — and from underfunded to well-positioned for grants.
​

• Be a 501(c)(3) or in the process of becoming one
