8 SOURCES OF IDEAS Like organizations annual reports Foundation Center Guidestar Rumors and innuendo
9 DO YOUR HOMEWORK 1. Read the website, understand mission and priorities. Mission and Meaning The Otto Bremer Trust assists people in achieving full economic, civic and social participation in and for the betterment of their communities Our mission is based on the intent of our founder, Otto Bremer. His vision and longstanding commitment to communities during and after the Great Depression are carried forward today through our work in the places that are home to Bremer banks. We strive to help build healthy, vibrant communities communities where basic needs are met, mutual regard is prized and opportunities for economic, civic and social participation are within everyone s reach. Go to Guidestar and review the 990; find out how their dollars are distributed
10 IS IT A FIT? Questions to answer Do they fund like organizations? Do they fund at an appropriate level? What is their corpus? How much do the give away annually? What is their timing? Does it work for us? What are their goals? How does funding your organization meet those goals?
11 IS IT A FIT?
12 IS IT A FIT? VENN DIAGRAM
13 CAPITAL AND PROGRAM AND GEN-OP (OH MY!) 1) What kind of support do we ask for? 2) When do we ask? 3) Combination requests?
14 CAPITAL AND PROGRAM AND GEN-OP (OH MY!) Understanding the impact of general operating support is about more than identifying the right indicators and creating an efficient reporting and tracking system. It s about assessing and understanding improvements in organizational capacity.
15 CAPITAL AND PROGRAM AND GEN-OP (OH MY!) These grants open up the space for a more transparent, trusting relationship with grantees and allow grantmakers to get a better idea of the challenges grantee organizations face, how the unrestricted dollars are helping (or not) and what types of additional support grantees may need. -Grantmakers for Effective Organizations, 2014
16 SUSPECTS AND PROSPECTS A suspect is an idea for a funder keep an ongoing list, wherever it comes from. A prospect has a timeline and strategy attached to it.
17 PROSPECT RESEARCH SAMPLE SUMMARY The Rose Francis Foundation Relationships / Location Process Annual Giving Typical or Similar Gifts Minneapolis, MN Unsolicited requests for funds not accepted Application form not required $254,696 $254,696 for 15 grants (high: $50,000; Low: $1,000) Examples: Cookie Cart-$5,000; Way to Grow- $10,000; Patchwork Quilt- $31,000; Banyan Community- $40,000; Children s Hospital- $50,000 Board List Donors: David Nassif; Monica Nassif Officers and Directors: David Nassif, Pres. & Dir. Monica Nassif, V.P. & Dir. Calla Nassif, Secy. & Dir. Aundrea Nassif, Treas. & Dir.
18 CULTIVATING PROGRAM STAFF Squirrel or Bigfoot? Website is often a clue Plan your approach Allow ample time , follow-up phone call Gentle persistence is necessary Talk. And listen Have an elevator speech; not a novel Not a good fit = don t bother Playing chicken on the request amount
19 DO YOUR HOMEWORK Read the guidelines carefully. Eligibility Grants are made only to organizations whose beneficiaries are residents of Minnesota, North Dakota or Wisconsin, with priority given to local and regional organizations that support Bremer Bank communities. Grants are generally restricted to organizations described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and to governmental entities. OBT does not make grants to individuals. At this time, OBT is not accepting proposals from organizations that received their tax-exempt status through the 1023-EZ application process. Grant Application and Review While OBT accepts applications on a continuous basis, see our grantmaking schedule for upcoming dates on which grants will be considered. Previous Otto Bremer Trust grant recipients should review our one-grant-at-a-time policy before submitting an application. OBT acknowledges grant applications on receipt. If you have submitted an application and have not received an acknowledgment, please let us know by sending an to portal@ottobremer.org Our grantmaking schedule includes four grant cycles a year: Complete proposals must be received by midnight on: For ed results by: Tuesday, July 19, 2016 Monday, November 21, 2016 Tuesday, October 11, 2016 Wednesday, February 22, 2017 Tuesday, January 17, 2017 Wednesday, May 24, 2017
20 DO YOUR HOMEWORK Check the annual report and 990 to find out how giving guidelines play out in the real world.
21 GRANTWRITING
22 NOW WRITE! Use the funder s application form Use your Case (use the summary for an LOI) Use their words Stick to the format and the word/character limit Be succinct, be human Think about POETRY
23 A FEW WRITING TIPS: Show, don t tell Stories? Mary = YES!!! Dominic = NO!!! Do review the final draft proposal with lead program staff Don t freelance and fund something program staff can t execute Do explain how your project will meet the funder s objectives
24 BUDGETS $$$ Clear budget narrative Typical categories Last year and current YTD for organization if possible Clear and understandable program budget. Don t forget benefits, reasonable overhead and fixed costs.
25 TAKE A BREATH Set it aside. Give it a day. Get a fresh set of eyes. Print (if possible), and review it again. Submit
26 THE SITE VISIT Have the right and right number of people in the room Be respectful of time including your own Don t guess. Don t free-lance. Ask questions Make it a win/win Try not to stress Follow up
27 DECISION TIME If they fund you: Yay! Say thank you, send a thank you/acknowledgement letter, report promptly, send stories, keep them in the loop. If they do not: What could we have done to make our proposal more competitive?
28 AFTER THE CHECK CLEARS Following up: *Changes to the work *Extensions *Communicate COMMUNICATE COMMUNICATE Reporting Taking another bite of the apple
29 EVERYTHING YOU EVER WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT GRANTMAKING* Should we hire a grant-writer? When is the best time of year to submit an application? Is name-dropping helpful? Should I invite a board member to the site visit? * but were afraid to ask
30 EVERYTHING YOU EVER WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT GRANTMAKING* The answer: It depends One you know one foundation, you know one foundation. * but were afraid to ask
31 GRANTS MANAGEMENT
32 NONPROFIT GRANTS MANAGEMENT Action Calendar Tracks both proposal and report deadlines Prepare to spend 40% of your time on reports Grants Report Committed, pending, planned

36 REAL WORLD MISTAKES (MARY) Mistakes I made last week: Not letting a key staff member know we d gotten an important grant Mistakes I made last month: Not communicating enough with the program officer for a foundation before submitting a proposal (TWICE) Not starting the year with an annual development plan Underasking Overasking
37 REAL WORLD MISTAKES (DOMINIC) Mistakes I made last week: Assuming constants in a world of variables. Assuming the proposal tells the whole story. Mistakes I made last month: Wrong organization, wrong day.
