Fundraising or Sales? (What's the difference?)
Hello Everyone,
Hello everyone. I’m building a grassroots nonprofit called We Are The World A Purple Heart Proj Inc focused on providing meals clothing hygiene supplies and workforce readiness support to individuals and families experiencing hardship. I’m always looking to learn from others in the nonprofit space and build partnerships. If anyone has advice or ideas for early stage nonprofits I would love to hear them. Our donation page is here if anyone would like to support the mission: $wearetheworldtx https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/donation-form/donate-to-make-a-difference-21199

Side question, do people actually reach out on WhatsApp? I admit I’m a bit older (Gen X), but WhatsApp signals a scam risk to me. How has it worked out for you?
How are you finding early stage foundation grants?
Hi everyone, I’m currently researching grassroots grant funders for my 501(c)(3) nonprofit focused on food insecurity and workforce readiness. I’m especially interested in smaller foundation or community-based funders that support early-stage organizations. If you’ve successfully secured grassroots or community grants, I would really appreciate any guidance on: • How you identified potential funders • What databases or platforms you used • Whether you focused on local, regional, or national foundations • Any lessons learned in your first successful application Have you had success with smaller family foundations or corporate community grants? Thank you in advance — I truly value shared insight and real-world experience. – Camille

Camille, I approach all fundraising through a relationship lens even grants from foundations, I like to build a relationship with the foundation staff, get to know them and know how I can apply for the grant in such a way that makes their job easy. There’s a database that will give you all the local grants in your community, I’m not sure where you live but I’m sure you can find it by googling. I would suggest to start building those relationships now, even if you’re not eligible to receive a grant yet due to your age of organization, if you build a relationship you’ll more likely get accepted once you qualify for the grant

It’s hard for nonprofit board members to know how to contribute their best. That’s why we work with boards so everyone knows their unique board role.
