I have been spending time reading Grant Station’s 2025 State of Grantseeking Report, considering each key finding, analyzing it, and developing strategies to improve our situation in 2026.
I was surprised to learn that 64% of the respondents did not submit a collaborative grant application in 2025. In my opinion, this is a missed opportunity, especially for small nonprofits.

Grant professionals are being asked to do more than ever- more proposals, more impact, more accountability- with fewer resources, higher award goals, and tighter timelines.
This is why collaborative grant writing is an essential strategy, especially for smaller organizations that would love to win larger grant awards.
Here are the benefits:
- Smaller organizations can leverage the budgets and impact of larger organizations to win bigger awards.
- Sharing the workload can ease pressure on understaffed, overworked organizations.
- Collaborations are more credible- funders feel that organizations are better using community resources.
- Sustainability is assured with collaborations. Collective ownership builds confidence.
- Collaborations allow for shared ideas and peer learning.
In 2026, successful grant strategies won’t be built in silos. They will be constructed strategically by teams- intentionally and collaboratively.
