Remy’s Consulting

This summer, we’re getting to work FOR YOUR MISSION. ☀️

Over the next few months, we’ll be sharing strategies, tools, tips, and real resources to help nonprofit organizations strengthen their foundation and prepare for funding.

Many organizations already have the passion, vision, and ideas… but what’s missing is a clear system to turn that into real funding.

That’s why we created the Grant Funding Playbook. 📘

✔ Step-by-step system✔ Ready-to-use tools✔ Practical strategies✔ Resources designed for real organizations

This summer isn’t just about learning.It’s about building structure, clarity, and momentum.

Follow along for weekly tips, templates, success stories, and grant strategies.

✨ Your mission deserves resources.

Thank you, American Express Business for giving us the opportunity to share our experiences!

If the foundation does have a website, find the section containing their mission statement. Compare that mission to your own organization’s mission.

The first thing you should do when you encounter a new funding opportunity is find the funder’s website. If they do not have a website, this should be an immediate red flag.

The first hard truth to know about funders is that most of them have no interest in you or your work.

Here is a good exercise before starting online research: brainstorm all the “buckets” or “silos” your organization fits in. What population do you serve? Where do you serve them? How do you serve them? These questions will give clues as to the best search terms to use

It may sound simplistic, but some of your best funding prospects will come up on Google just from searching something like “grantmakers/foundations in [INSERT FIELD].” The major grantmakers in that field will usually optimize their sites to pop up early in search engine results, which will give you a sense of the prominent players in the field.

The actual “writing” part of grant writing is important, but believe it or not... it is not the only place where time can easily get wasted.⁠. Hint: Google is your friend!
