In this episode, Kevin Scalia, Executive Vice President of Corporate Development, and Keith Boushee, Director of Community Strategy, share the importance of properly preparing to apply for funding through federal and state grants and how to efficiently use funding to help with the success of your organization.
Identifying, preparing and applying for human services funding opportunities that align with your organization’s goals is crucial to better serve communities. In preparing to apply for grants ahead of time, one should think about how these funds can help grow and expand the business. Find which grants best fit your organization and its strategy along with considering the sustainability of that grant, by thinking about how to keep the success of your organization after the grant goes away. Work that should be done ahead of time before applying for grants also include the consideration of working with partners, collecting letters of recommendation from other community resources and being confident that you have the bandwidth to not only complete the grant application, but have a good chance of success after submission.
