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.

Hi, thank you for accepting me into the group. I appreciate the space you’ve created and look forward to being an active, respectful member.
