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
