State of Grantseeking and Its Implications for Grant Professionals
•
1 recomendación•646 vistas
The document summarizes the state of the nonprofit sector and grantseeking. It finds that demand for nonprofit services is increasing but capacity is not keeping pace. The nonprofit sector finances are improving slightly but many organizations still have deficits. Foundation and government grants make up a small percentage of nonprofit funding compared to donations. Private foundations are the most frequent but also largest source of grants. However, obtaining general operating support and dealing with delayed grant payments continue to be challenges. The implications are that grant professionals should focus fundraising on likely funders based on organization size and mission and engage funders on providing support for outcomes reporting and indirect costs.
