1 Fitting Grants Into Your Fundraising Toolbox Cheryl L. Kester, CFRE The Kester Group, LLC
2 Fitting Grants Into the Toolbox Integrating into development team Staffing models Grants reality checks Being strategic
3 Grants Mythbusting Grants will fund our entire project Grants are all about the writing The grants officer is just a writer The grant consultant does all the work Anybody can write
4 Grantwriting Secret #1 Grantwriting is just fundraising
5 Grantwriting = Fundraising Same principles Same steps Good prospects Capability AND Interest The same skills, words, methods that motivate individual donors motivate grant makers
6 Motivating Donors Strong organization Exciting ideas Proven successes Community support Compelling stories Know your donor
7 Grants are Just One Tool NOT the hammer!
8 Diversified Fundraising Stream Annual fund Events Direct Mail Face-to-Face Solicitations Sponsorships THEN: Major gifts Grants Planned giving
9 Staffing Models for Grants Exec. Dir. is alone does all fundraising Dev. Dir. added portfolio divided w/ E.D. Dev. Staff added half grants/half Full-time grants director added (E.D. still may retain part of portfolio) Outsource at any stage
10 Grant Writer as Part of the Team The grants person belongs at the fundraising table Setting reasonable annual goals Identifying realistic grants prospects Writing Case for Support Developing RFAs for consultants
11 Common Grant Mistakes Grants OR staff forgotten during planning unrealistic expectations of grantwriter Omitting foundations from prospects list Not cultivating foundation prospects Failing timing to plan approach strategies and
12 The Naughty List Please DON T Isolate the grant writer Assume grantwriting is not fundraising Hog all the grantwriting Assume anyone can write Give the writer a wish list
13 Strategic Integration of Grants Grantwriter at team meetings Set organizational priorities Put in annual fundraising plan Prioritize grant requests Gather success stories Support training/resources Leverage existing materials Cross-train/mentor
14 Ammo for Unrealistic Expectations!
15 Myth #1 Grants are grants
16 Reality Check #1 = Foundations are People Too Different missions Different sizes Different types of funding Different things they will fund
17 How They Fit Together Program Grants Challenge Grants Equipment Planning Grants Construction Finishers
18 Typical Project Funding Timeline Project Start Financial Feasibility Initial Funding 2015 Wrap up Funding Public Phase Project Complete 2019
19 Hypothetical Funder Types Funder Funder Type Type of Grant Size Frequency #1 State Agency Planning $25,000 Annual #2 Regional Foundation Challenge $100,000 2 yrs to meet challenge #3 Corporation Sponsorships In-kind or $10,000 Annual #4 Federal Agency Program $750,000 Every three years #5 Local Foundation Capital $35,000 Annual (likes to help meet challenges)
20 Unrealistic Expectation or Myth #2 Grants will solve our budget woes
21 Reality: Total Giving in the US 2012 Individuals 72% Corporations 5% Foundations 15% Bequests 8% Source: Giving USA, 2013
22 Reality Check #2 Grants comprise 12-14% of gifts annually Will NOT be 12-14% of your budget Not for new agencies Grants not stable yearto-year Wait-out periods Foundation giving is down Competition is fiercer than ever before
23 Unrealistic Expectation or Myth #3 Grantwriter can raise his/her salary... In the first year!
24 Reality Check #3 Can t take it from grant budgets Grants take time Constrained by deadlines Income not steady Won t fund same-old, same-old Must have fundable ideas/ projects
25 Unrealistic Expectation or Myth #4 Requiring foundation visits or meetings
26 Reality Check #4 Very few allow meetings Some won t even take phone calls! Small (or no) staff Deluged with applicants
27 Unrealistic Expectation or Myth #5 Hit the Big-Name Funders
28 Reality Check #5 Biggest names fund biggest projects National or international reach required Must have capacity PLUS interest Respond with research
29 Unrealistic Expectation or Myth #6 Increase proposals AND increase funding rate
30 Reality Check #6 High funding ratios not best measure of success More proposals = lower funded ratio That may be OK Prioritize Know likelihood of funding
31 Other Unrealistic Expectations?
32 Time for Some Good News: You CAN do This!
33 Grantwriting Secret #2 Grantwriting is only 20% writing...
34 Assets brought to Table Program Person Knowledge of org Has program ideas Expert on services Focus on current need Grant Professional Knowledge of funder Sculpts program ideas Expert on funderese Focus on potential
35 One Example: Campaigns Comprehensive research BEFORE campaign Who likes to give big, initial gifts? Who makes challenge grants to reach goal? Who will give only 1% of total goal? At what point in the campaign do you ask? Do normal wait-out periods apply? Timing and right-sizing essential
36 Typical Project Funding Timeline Project Start Financial Feasibility Initial Funding 2015 Wrap up Funding Public Phase Project Complete 2019
37 Hypothetical Funder Types Funder Funder Type Type of Grant Size Frequency #1 State Agency Planning $25,000 Annual #2 Regional Foundation Challenge $100,000 2 yrs to meet challenge #3 Corporation Sponsorships In-kind or $10,000 Annual #4 Federal Agency Program $750,000 Every three years #5 Local Foundation Capital $35,000 Annual (likes to help meet challenges)
