READ TO THE END! Hey Grant Winners! We are now approaching 500 members across the country and around the world. I am truly grateful to have each of you as part of this growing community, and I am committed to making your membership even more powerful, strategic, and valuable. We are preparing to launch the Grant Collective, a private community within this community where qualified organizations can collaborate on larger grant opportunities. The purpose of the Grant Collective is simple: We want to bring strong organizations together to pursue grants collectively, strengthen applications, expand community impact, and increase our ability to win more funding. When we collaborate, we create stronger proposals. When we combine programs, expertise, geographic reach, data, partnerships, and organizational capacity, we become more competitive for larger local, state, federal, corporate, and foundation opportunities. Here is how it will work: To participate in the Grant Collective, your organization must have completed either our Grant Ready Program or our Grants and Contracts Program. This allows us to confirm that your organization has completed our initial readiness process and meets the foundational criteria required to participate in collaborative funding opportunities. Organizations may also qualify by completing the assessment on our website and receiving a Lane 3 or Lane 4 designation. There will be a membership fee to participate in the Grant Collective. This membership will support the research, strategy, coordination, proposal development, partnership management, and administrative infrastructure required to pursue funding opportunities collectively. Members may be invited to participate in grant opportunities based on eligibility, organizational capacity, location, program alignment, experience, and the specific requirements of each opportunity. Participation will not guarantee that every member is included in every application. Each collaborative team will be strategically developed based on what gives the application the strongest opportunity to compete.

Morning! It’s been a little quiet the past week. Just want to make sure everyone is well!?!
