Guiding Non-profits to Increased Organizational Capacity
The Mighty Oaks approach is a realistic one, based on experience with a broad array of non-profit organizations—from those with zero staff and board-run, to those with over 30 staff, from local to international—and there is one near-constant: The organizational-level preparation needed to submit a winning grant proposal has not been completed to the necessary level.
We find that most organizations are working very hard to make a deadline for a wonderful funding opportunity that they're a great fit for, without all their ducks in a row—significantly lowering their odds of being awarded the grant. The program or project they want to fund is really at the Concept level.
We know this isn’t the way you want to do things. And that jumping from concept to submitting grant proposals is par for the course in the intense environment of non-profit fundraising—because we’ve had to do just that. There’s that feeling you can never get things done fast enough or submit all the proposals you should, but you do not have to lower your standards.
We’re here to help you prepare and implement an annual grant plan that not only delivers on the fundraising level but raises your overall capacity on the organizational level.
