Prospect Research
Whether you’re looking for new funder prospects for your Campaign or starting from square one, Mission Forward can identify grant opportunities to help you reach your funding goal.
What to Expect
We will schedule a kick-off call to discuss your organization, grant fundraising goal, proposed project/campaign/need, and general grant history. Then, using internal and external databases of over 150,000 grant funders, our team will identify a number of private, corporate, and public grant opportunities that will help you meet your funding goal.
Prospects will be shared in an organized Prospect Index Tool with comprehensive information, including contact details, geographic focus, grant amount ranges, deadlines, funder cultivation suggestions, and more.
Grant Pipeline Management
Looking for a low-cost alternative to track your grant history, deadlines, notes, and funding goals? Need a little help with strategy? Grant Pipeline Management is your answer.
What to Expect
Mission Forward’s team will build an all-in-one tool to organize, track, and streamline your full Grant Pipeline. This tool will hold all of your grant-related information in one place, including:
Deadlines for proposals, letters of inquiry, reports, and cultivation steps
Reminders and instructions to build relationships with funders
Automatic calculations to help you track fundraising goals
Grant Prospect information
Application history
Suggestions on how to unlock funders
And more.
We will manage this tool and provide real-time strategy to help you write successful proposals, track funding projections, and connect to prospects. At the end of the contract, this new Grant Pipeline Tool will be yours to continue the progress we make together.
Grant Writing & Coaching
Do you need a refresh on your grant narrative or additional capacity to tackle a complicated grant opportunity? I can help!
What to Expect
This is the best option for folks needing in-house grant support for a more affordable price.
From grant proposals to reports, we will write and collaborate with you to finalize solid grant narratives that capture the voice of your organization, community, and mission. We will also provide coaching to suggest when to contact a funder or how to make your application stand out from the rest.
Like other services, this option is customizable, allowing you to contract Grant Writing for one proposal to a full annual pipeline.
