Grant management isn't just accounting, though that's part of it. It's everything that happens from the moment you get that "congratulations" email until you submit your final report and close out the grant.

I like to think of grant management as the bridge between getting money and proving you used it well. Without this bridge, even the most amazing programs can lose funding.

Mission and vision statements are the foundation of a nonprofit’s identity. They’re not just formalities. They’re strategic tools. While common in business, they’re even more important in the nonprofit space.

These statements do more than describe your nonprofit. They shape direction. They guide your programs. They help funders understand what you stand for.

The nonprofit sector is more competitive than ever, with over 1.8 million registered US nonprofits - a 20% increase in 2023 - vying for limited funding. Many rely on grants to sustain their programs, but securing grants takes more than just applying.

For nonprofits, grants are crucial for driving your mission and creating lasting change. Whether supporting disadvantaged kids, helping seniors age with dignity, or protecting the environment, securing grants provides the resources to expand programs, reach more people, and address community challenges.
