Not all site visits are created equal though – foundations and federal agencies have different purposes and practices when it comes to checking in on their grantees.   JOIN THE FUNDRAISING HAYDAY COMMUNITY: Become a member of the Patreon   CHECK OUT TODAY’S SPONSOR: Encore Institute for Social Impact They partner with nonprofit organizations to secure funding, develop actionable strategies, strengthen capacity, and demonstrate results.

    Standard Attachments: The Paperwork That Makes or Breaks You

    Grant writing is such a misnomer. As grant professionals, we spend about 80% of our time working on a million other things. One of the most time-consuming aspects of grant proposal development is creating and gathering all the standard attachments. Some are pretty standard, and some not so much; but a grant requirement is a requirement.   JOIN THE FUNDRAISING HAYDAY COMMUNITY: Become a member of the Patreon   CHECK OUT TODAY’S SPONSOR: Encore Institute for Social Impact They partner with nonprofit organizations to secure funding, develop actionable strategies, strengthen capacity, and demonstrate results.

    Ripped from the Headlines: Is the Administration Weaponizing Grant Fraud?

    When money is involved, fraud is a possibility. It’s one of the reasons we have so many rules, regulations, and reporting requirements surrounding grant awards: to ensure the funding is spent as intended. And it should be spent as approved in your grant budget. But lately, it seems like this administration is weaponizing grant fraud, and in some cases, simply using it as an excuse to terminate grant programs. We’re sharing recent examples – ripped straight from the headlines.   JOIN THE FUNDRAISING HAYDAY COMMUNITY: Become a member of the Patreon   CHECK OUT TODAY’S SPONSOR: Encore Institute for Social Impact They partner with nonprofit organizations to secure funding, develop actionable strategies, strengthen capacity, and demonstrate results.

    Advocacy for Your Organization, Profession, and Self

For grant and fundraising professionals, advocating for your organization, your role at work, and yourself is important work.   JOIN THE FUNDRAISING HAYDAY COMMUNITY: Become a member of the Patreon   CHECK OUT TODAY’S SPONSOR: Encore Institute for Social Impact They partner with nonprofit organizations to secure funding, develop actionable strategies, strengthen capacity, and demonstrate results.
