Great tips. My favorite two are “just answer the question” and “show how additional support will move the npo forward.” The 7th item I’d add is follow up-confirm the foundation received the npo’s application AND put together a 6-month and a 12-month report showing how the support has benefited the npo, as we are often hoping to grow the relationship with the foundations over future years. The one challenge I often see is fundraisers struggling to find general operations funds vs. program-specific funds, as many more foundations tend to bend towards program specific grants vs. npos, who prefer general operations funding. When this happens, I usually have to show them how to package parts of their general operations into a pseudo program with goals, objectives, rationales, short-term & long-term measurements, who’s responsible for what, and timelines. It’s not a quick process because often many npos don’t think in this fashion, more emotional driven and less numbers driven.

Yes! I agree with the follow up. I get paranoid my emails don't go through, LOL so that has helped.

Thank you so much for your videos Amber 🥰 I have just started my brain storm for setting non profit organisation to help build a hospital back home in Africa to treat kids with tumours. I am genuinely lost 😞

With the development of "Go Fund Me" isn't it easier to go that route as opposed to waiting for funds from various grant sources that may or may not be profitable?

Certainly there are many ways to fundraise as a nonprofit! If you are specifically seeking grants though, this video shares tips about that route.
