Grant Strategy That Wins
Securing foundation grants takes more than writing applications. The nonprofits that consistently succeed with grants share four key traits:
Strong relationships with funders
Foundations fund partners they know and trust. Strategic outreach and follow-up turn introductions into multi-year partnerships.
Clear measurements and data
Funders invest in concrete outcomes, not good intentions. Simple, credible metrics show what changed, for whom, and by when.
Compelling stories and testimonials
Data proves impact, but stories make it felt. Real examples help reviewers see the transformation.
Organized grant strategy
A focused plan keeps deadlines, materials, and funders aligned. The right systems make funding more predictable and less stressful.
Crosby Consulting helps you strengthen each of these areas through a proven framework designed to make your grant program sustainable, strategic, and successful.
The Grant Success System
The Grant Success System takes nonprofits from reactive grant writing to a streamlined approach.
Our nine-step structured pathway combines organizational readiness, strategic prospecting, relationship cultivation, and high-quality grant writing to position nonprofits for long-term funding success.
1) Onboarding
Align goals, roles, and success metrics.
2) Nonprofit Wellness Audit
Identify readiness gaps funders notice in programs, outcomes, finances, and policies.
3) Master Grant Template
Create one living source for narratives, outcomes, bios, budgets, and attachments.
4) Grant Prospecting
Build a prioritized pipeline from professional databases to target only the best-fit funders.
5) Funder Cultivation Strategy
Provide scripts and a calendar so staff and board can build real funder relationships.
6) Shared Grant Calendar & Tracking
Centralize deadlines, renewals, and submissions so everyone stays aligned.
7) Quarterly Strategy Reviews
Review progress, adjust tactics, and keep leadership focused on key opportunities.
8) Grant Writing
Develop competitive drafts and submissions that are efficient, compliant, and funder-aligned.
9) End-of-Year Funding Report
Summarize what was applied for, what was awarded, and create a roadmap for the next year.
