Drop your answers below. Be specific. This is how we grow. Now letβs talk strategy ππΎ If it has been at least 30 days since the deadline, here are 3 powerful moves you should be making: β
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. β
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. β
3. Do Not Get DiscouragedThere are thousands of grants and millions of dollars available every single day. One βnoβ does not mean never. It simply means refine and realign.
