So you want to compete for a federal grant…
Now what?

Federal grant seeking is a strategic program, not a one-shot opportunity.
It requires a level of expertise, coordination, and likely partners to successfully complete.
You need resilience, persistence, and a continuous improvement mindset.
Federal grants have upsides that make the effort worthwhile:

🚩Federal grants generally provide significant funding that can range from hundreds of thousands of dollars to millions of dollars.
🚩 Operating federal grant programs can create better collaboration inside your organization. They are often more complex and require interdisciplinary teams across your departments.
🚩Securing federal grants can be a marker of credibility to your clients, funders, and the market that can be leveraged for new funding.
🚩Federal grants, particularly National Centers, provide a platform for thought leadership, field building, and enduring partnerships.
🚩 Federal grants can provide a significant source of indirect funding which can help your organization build its infrastructure, staff capacity, and new capabilities such as evaluation.
🚩 If executed strategically, federal grants can create lines of work rather than projects in your organization that build toward significant impact.
