#97 Leverage published reports to win more grants

Did you know that national, regional, state, and local reports are compiled and published yearly to provide data about our society? This information is free for all to read.

These free reports can help you to win more grants.

Grant funders want to fund grant proposals that demonstrate a need for the project being funded.

Use these reports to substantiate your project.

Do you write grants for a nonprofit that raises awareness about human trafficking and assists victims? Use the data and proposed policies outlined here to impress upon grant funders how your nonprofit is making an impact toward the stated need.

Does your nonprofit engage in suicide prevention efforts? Use the data and strategies in this report to convince grant funders that there is an immediate need for your services.

Does your nonprofit fight for the human rights of the citizens of Georgia? Use this report to underscore the importance of acting now and funding your project.

For local reports, check with your local community foundation. Many times, they fund reports that highlight pressing community needs and this data can be used as part of your needs assessment in your grant proposals.

Thousands of these types of reports are available for free online with a few simple searches.

Use them to engage grant funders and highlight needs- the money will follow.

Until next time,
