GRANT STRATEGIES If you have limited time to dedicate to grant-writing, focusing on major local grantmakers is a great strategy.Local grantmakers are a limited resource and Muncie has a very large number of nonprofits competing for them. If you think nationally and look for grants that fit your subject area, you may find a great opportunity. 5% of that $54 million dollars came from 60 out-of-state grantmakers. Local is best, but there’s a whole wide world of resources out there. $2.9 million came into Muncie from out-of-state grants in the last five years.6% of that $54 million dollars came from 79 grantmakers that gave to only ONE Muncie organization each. Applying for a long-shot grant can pay off! That’s $3.4 million in funds!

THINK STRATEGICALLY In addition to researching local organizations to find out where they’ve been successful with grant funding, consider looking up organizations that have a similar goal/mission to yours. This will help you to find niche grantmakers who are specifically interested in your cause.
