It was such a pleasure to have so many of you join me and Megan Hale for the Fiscal Planning for Winning Grants training session!
Megan is obsessed with helping people know their numbers and I am obsessed with helping you win big grants!
Here is the Grant Readiness Worksheet we covered, and here’s a replay of the workshop!
I highlighted a few really important issues we want to make sure you don’t miss:
- A lot of non-profits and for-profits hire grant writers BEFORE having a working budget AND a clear idea of how much grant funding they really need.
When this happens, that Executive Director or CEO now has to pay me and my team at their hourly rate just to do the financials before any grant research or writing can begin 🥺 This is not only EXPENSIVE, but it’s the least best use of your funds.
With DreamMoney, Megan helps your funds go further by helping you build your budget and clarify your grant needs at a fraction of the cost. Grant writers can then jump right in and add their expertise to the mix!
- A lot of non-profits lean too heavily on grant dollars when they need a diversified revenue strategy.
It’s imperative your organization is clear on how you’ll generate your own funds while also leaning on grants to close the gaps.
With DreamMoney, Megan will help you build out your diversified revenue strategy so you’re clear on how you’ll creatively finance your work in the world.
- Grants look at the overall sustainability of an organization.
Do you have the financial clarity you need to sustain your organization and more importantly, do you have the financial systems for cash flow management that help you accurately leverage every dollar that walks through your door?
With DreamMoney, Megan will help you learn how to manage your funding (both grant dollars and revenue generated) so you know how to allocate your funds appropriately vs. wondering where they all went.
As we mentioned today, winning a grant means building a relationship with the grantor.
When you have strong cash flow management skills and can report exactly how funds were used, you’re building financial trust & transparency between you and those dispersing funds.
But more than that, you’re also opening the door for winning more grants because you can say,
“Here’s what we’ve won. Here’s how those dollars were used. We’re a trusted investment partner who knows how to manage funds.”
