Managing the grant procurement process can be complex and time consuming. It requires specialized research and narrative skills coupled with expertise in identifying measurable grant performance indicators. JANID Advisors can help your organization raise money, solve difficult fundraising problems, strengthen operations, and execute grant-seeking strategies to achieve success. Whether you would like us to conduct prospect research, draft grant inquiries and preproposal applications, prepare a needs assessment with success indicators, or write a compelling narrative, JANID can help your organization succeed in this highly competitive fundraising environment.
Foundation & Donor Prospecting
Nowadays nonprofits have more opportunity than ever before to procure funding while at the same time, competition to secure these funds has risen steeply. How can fundraisers maximize prospecting efforts and yield the best rate of return?
Targeted research. Insightful brainstorming. A formalized plan. Tracking.
Let JANID Advisors help you find new ways to position your organization, expand funding “interest areas” and identify your most lucrative funders. Outreach approach, preproposal application submissions, and relationship building are paramount to getting past gatekeepers and receiving grant submission invitations. JANID can help you turn “NOs” into “YESes” and convert prospects into funders by developing a step-by-step solicitation plan and timeline customized for each prospect. Alternatively, we can take on the role of an outsourced team-member-at-large as you work through challenging staffing shortages.
Partner with JANID to open doors and acquire the best funders.
Grant Procurement
Success in fundraising is measured by an organization’s ability to pitch messages masterfully, cultivate gifts, and expand its donor base. Grant seekers, however, must also be proficient at crafting a compelling written proposal. What are the key elements of a successful proposal?
Matching, marketing, and measurement.
Let JANID Advisors show you how to detect congruence between your organization’s programs and grantor prospects, and navigate the grant-making requirements by corporate and government foundations, private family foundations, community foundations, and Donor Advised Funds. JANID professionals will provide you and your organization with the framework and guidance needed to create outstanding proposals and action-oriented follow-up tactics. Our advisors can also serve as your outsourced fundraiser and write proposals, case statements, and inquiry letters as well as perform other grant-related activities, such as proposal reviews and editing, outreach initiation, and grant reporting.
Partner with JANID to transform your story to get noticed, heard, and funded.
Management Advisory & Mentorship
Running a financially stable organization requires honing skills beyond fundraising and grantsmanship. It requires juggling priorities and making hard decisions — decisions about planning and budgeting, infrastructure-building and systems implementation, staffing and organizational development, marketing and promotions, and policies and compliance, as well as those that affect an outsider’s perception of the organization. Successful leaders also exhibit more subtle, yet powerful skills that they integrate daily.
Leaders create, integrate, calibrate, negotiate, orate, motivate, and anticipate.
Having decades of experience resurrecting and running organizations, JANID advisors help clients sharpen their skills, optimize their time, and drive revenue and organizational growth. Our versatile advisors help clients create compelling case statements, develop multi-year campaign plans, and provide sensible strategies for mastering “the ask” and closing the gift. Moreover, we can customize a framework for governing boards, capturing data, calibrating tools, and integrating systems, policies, and procedures that promote operating efficiencies. Our engagement-savvy mentors empower clients to motivate teams, build exemplary cultures, and align communications to missions and brands.
Partner with JANID to maximize your performance and achieve sustainability.
Professional Development
Knowledge is power and JANID Advisors applies this principle across all of its grant-getting services. However, we also provide formalized training and mentorships that focus on the essential elements of sustainability — focused funding, program matching, actionable proposals, and relationship cultivation. What benefits are gained from training sessions?
Economies-to-scale learning, evergreen written reference materials, and self-sustainability.
We offer tips and best practices that can be implemented immediately because our hands-on approach guides participants through composing a usable grant proposal. Having the know-how behind the tools and rules of grant-getting allows participants to adapt principles learnt to future grants. And by tailoring training programs to each client’s individual needs, or through mentorship and one-on-one coaching sessions, JANID’s knowledge-sharing empowers individuals to advance their professional career and their organization’s mission, today and in the future.
