Fishing for Whales – Private Foundation Research
You know that the most likely pathway to sustainability is building and keeping individual donors. Complementing this with private foundation donors is often a good tactic. Legacy Research can discover the top tier, most likely foundations that could support your programs, eliminating wasted “fishing trips” into the foundation world. We can match your mission with foundations that have given to organizations like yours before and that align with your mission; further, we can discover very important relationship links between your leadership and the foundations staff and trustees.
…And there is more. Legacy Research grant writing team can provide a grant template for you to use in writing your own grants, our team can write the grants for you or you can sign up for grant writing coaching at Grants As You Go™.
Results:
- Remarkably efficient use of time and money
- Laser-like funding targets
- Greatly improved opportunities for funding
