Federal grant funding is constantly evolving to meet the needs of our society. If you run a nonprofit and are not competing for federal funding, ask yourself why.
What is holding you back? The Biden administration is highly supportive of the social sector. The support isn't always touted in the headlines, but help is real, as is opportunity. The Agencies under the Executive Branch are working hard to support nonprofits with an extra emphasis on local support.
If your organization isn't ready for federal grant acquisition, think about partnering with a larger or for-profit organization. In the majority of opportunities, Agencies are looking for partnerships,
As a general rule of thumb, if more than 50% of the opportunity is carried about by a 501(c)(3) or other qualifying nonprofit, your proposal is still compliant in terms of the entity type described in the federal notice/solicitation. The 51/49% split isn't ideal - only used to illustrate that opportunities you may have ruled out because of a difficult delivery may still be possible with the right collaboration strategy.
Think big. Think partnerships. Do good work.
