THREE THINGS DONORS NEED FROM YOU
Emerging donors expect transparency and results. Learn how dashboards, concise metrics, and consistent reporting strengthen impact storytelling.
As a nonprofit, philanthropy is critical to ensure you can carry out your mission. While there are many sources of income, grants can be a reliable, significant source of funding. A successful grants program is so much more than well written proposals. Organizations that are repeatedly awarded grants also have a strong and well organized grants process.
Whether you have a dedicated grants professional on your team or are looking to fill that gap, DBD can help. Our team can tailor solutions to meet your unique needs.
Through Grant Coaching, we will examine your current grant program and offer strategies that will give your organization a competitive advantage in winning grants. We will come alongside your team and provide: foundation prospect review, grant program assessment, consulting, templates, technical support, and grant review to ensure your program is as strong as possible - setting your team up for future success!
Program Management/Support
The program management process will help you build an infrastructure to ensure a successful grants program from pre- to post-award, including a deadline calendar, reporting process, grants management flow chart, and more.
Our grant writers can help you create compelling cases for your capital, program, and operating needs.
We’ll help you identify and prioritize the local, state, and national funding sources with the greatest potential for your organization.
DBD Group is familiar with the resources and opportunities available through federal and state funding sources.
If you are without or in-between grant staffing, we offer ongoing or interim support through a monthly retainer.
