Are you a grant-maker or grant funder? We have great news. There are resources for grant-makers too! Nonprofit or charitable organizations have the best intentions when they become grant-makers. However, they must also take further initiative. Grant-makers must promote new grants to ensure they receive grant applications from eligible grant-seekers. This ensures that grant funds are awarded to the cause they intended the grant for. Above all, philanthropic investments improve the community. Because of this, GrantWatch invites all grant-makers to submit their new, currently available, and upcoming grants.
Philanthropic Investments Improve Our Communities
Grants provide funding for programs that provide critical services for our communities. These programs offer healthy food, education, mental health support, legal counseling, medical research, work training, youth programs, and access to women’s health. Furthermore, grants can also offer financial support to start-up businesses, individuals like teachers and artists, and even faith-based organizations. If your foundation, organization, or business has ever considered providing a grant to worthy causes, this is your sign to build a grant! You can learn more about organizations making a real-world impact. We recommend GrantTalk, a new podcast hosted by GrantWatch CEO Libby Hikind, where notable guests discuss how grant-makers promote and review grants, and more.
Resources & Tips For New Grant Makers
Grant-makers have a responsibility to the grant foundation. To illustrate, grant-makers who build a grant review process distinguish between applicants who make a real-world impact, and those who do not are taking steps to ensure the grant awarded is funding the correct cause. Many qualified grant seekers are still overwhelmed by the grant process. In truth, technology is changing grant-funding standards.
