Funding Strategy Services
Here's where we start!
Your org has a story to tell and an impact to make. With an intentional interview process, we help you confirm details of your project(s) and your grant readiness.
We're genuinely curious about how you’re planning to make this a better world!
What's next...
Moving forward, Heart Currency will create a Funding Strategy. It’s a robust deliverable that is the result of researching literally hundreds of possible grants. Timelines and competitiveness are outlined for the top, pre-vetted pursuits.
Think of it as a grant roadmap for your nonprofit for the next 12-18 months.
Your team can run with the information on your own, or Heart Currency can be onboarded for grant writing.
If you so choose...
Grant writing is where this process comes to life.
Heart Currency will coordinate all aspects of the grant application process, including initial funder outreach support. It will definitely be a joint effort, with Heart Currency doing the heavy lifting.
We’re in this together!

Added benefits for your organization!
As grants are submitted, Heart Currency can take on several important roles to ensure the success and sustainability of your grant project.
Key roles:
- Project Management: Oversee the implementation of the grant project, ensuring that all activities are carried out according to the plan and timeline.
- Follow-Up with Funders: Communicate with the funding agency to confirm receipt of the grant application and address any follow-up questions or requirements.
- Organize Files Post-Submission: Ensure all documents and files related to the grant application are organized and stored properly for future reference.
- Schedule Project Debrief Meetings: Conduct meetings to review the grant process, discuss what worked well, and identify areas for improvement.
- Collect Testimonials: Gather feedback and testimonials from stakeholders involved in the grant project to use in future applications or reports.
- Prepare Reports: Develop progress and final reports for the funders, detailing how the grant funds were used and the outcomes achieved.
- Request Debrief Meetings with Funders: If the grant was not successful, request a debrief meeting with the funding agency to understand the reasons and improve future applications.
These roles help ensure that the grant project is executed effectively and that your organization is well-prepared for future funding opportunities.
