🎯 Grant Check-In Time! Let’s evaluate and elevate. I want you to take a moment and reflect on the last three grants you applied for and answer the following: 1️⃣ What feedback did you receive? 2️⃣ Did the funder reach out to you? 3️⃣ Did you receive an approval, denial, or a “we’re still reviewing” response? 4️⃣ If they responded, what exactly was said? Drop your answers below. Be specific. This is how we grow. Now let’s talk strategy 👇🏾 If it has been at least 30 days since the deadline, here are 3 powerful moves you should be making: ✅ 1. Reach Out to the FunderMost funders provide a contact email. Use it. Politely ask for the status of your application. This shows professionalism and genuine interest. ✅ 2. Request FeedbackIf you were denied, ask if they are open to sharing insight on how your application could be stronger next time. You can even request a brief call to discuss what would make your proposal more competitive. This is how you sharpen your edge. ✅ 3. Do Not Get DiscouragedThere are thousands of grants and millions of dollars available every single day. One “no” does not mean never. It simply means refine and realign. The key is building a strong grant pipeline and continuing to apply consistently. 🚨 If you have not received a response on at least your last 10 grant applications, comment “Grant Review” below. We will take a look at your answers together to see:• If your applications are aligned• If your storytelling needs strengthening• If you are applying to the right opportunities Remember, this is not about luck, it's about alignment, strategy, and consistency.

Hey Family. So 1/15/26 I applied for a WaWa Foundation Grant. This morning 2/6/26 at 10:00 am I received an email. I didn’t get it. Not because of my application but 2025 they changed the way of their support. Further into the email, it advised for me to go back and apply for an inkind donation for my event., so at 11:55am, I applied for an inkind and at 1:43pm I received an email that my inkind donation request was approved🙌🏾🙌🏾 So don’t just look at the not approved in a grant request. Read the feedback.
