After speaking to dozens of leaders I noticed some recurring themes:
Finding Appropriate Funding
Opportunities:
Identifying relevant grant opportunities that align with the organization's mission and programmatic goals can be time-consuming. Researching and staying up-to-date with available grants can be challenging, especially for smaller groups with limited resources.
​
Crafting a persuasive and competitive grant proposal requires clear communication of the organization's mission, program design, anticipated outcomes, and budget. Organizations may struggle to effectively convey their value proposition, demonstrate impact, and align their proposals with funders' priorities.
Developing Compelling
Proposals:
Limited Capacity For Grant Writing:
​
Organizations with small staff sizes or limited resources may struggle to dedicate sufficient time and expertise to the grant writing process. Balancing other organizational responsibilities alongside the demands of writing and submitting grant proposals can be a significant challenge.

TESTIMONIALS FROM OUR CLIENTS
The New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Foundation engaged Granted Advisors to develop an evaluation framework to assess the impact of its programs as part of the Foundation’s long-range plan. I can't say enough positive things about the incredible evaluation support we received from Michelle and the team at Granted Advisors. Their expertise, professionalism, and thoroughness will allow us to take a data driven approach to measuring the impact of our programs and informing decisions on allocating resources to deepen that impact throughout our service area.
