#1 Way to Win More Grants: Have a Grant Funding Strategy

Our most popular service is creating executable Grant Funding Strategies for busy, social justice non-profits like yours! 

I start by meeting with your non-profit team to learn about what project or program you want to get funded. I then thoroughly research and analyze the potential grant prospects, collaborate with your team, and determine the grants with the highest chances of success. 

A Funding Strategy is a research process, but also a deliverable that outlines the optimal grants to apply for in the next 12-18 months, as well as a timeline of key steps needed.

Grant Funding Strategy

A Funding Strategy (short for Grant Funding Strategy) is both a deliverable and a grant research process for a particular project or program that your non-profit wants to get funded. Its purpose is to provide a clear strategy for the optimal grants to pursue. 

This involves Joyful Grant Consulting

1️⃣ meeting with your non-profit to determine the project or program you want to get funded 

2️⃣ researching & analyzing 100+ grants 

3️⃣ determining the top 20 best grants 

4️⃣ discussing the prospects with your non-profit 

5️⃣ determining competitiveness of the grants 

6️⃣ creating a deliverable, including a personalized Funding Strategy outlining the grants with a 20% chance of winning & a timeline of action items


The grant process is more than just writing winning grants, it's also creating an executable funding strategy to know the best prospects to even apply for!



🤔 Does your non-profit seem to apply for grants often, but not regularly win?


🤔 Is your non-profit unsure of which grants to pursue in the next 12-18 months? 


🤔 Does your non-profit want a smoother grant process?


If the answer is yes to any of those questions, book a free 20-minute consultation with Joy today!


(Pricing for the Funding Strategy will be based on scope of work discussed in your free consultation.)

Grant Writing

Does your non-profit need help with writing grants to fund your impactful project and programs

Even if you have in-house grant writing capacity, an outside consultant can support you in flawlessly writing your grant narratives, budget, and attachments. 

As a grant writing team, Joyful Grant Consulting, Corp. ensures that:

1️⃣ your project/program meets the criteria of the grantmaker & it aligns with their stated giving priorities

2️⃣ your grant narratives are compelling and clearly answer the application prompts

3️⃣ your budget is finalized

4️⃣ your application narratives read cohesively and are grammatically correct

5️⃣ your application has all the attachments and documents required

6️⃣ your proposal is submitted on time!


The grant proposal process has a lot of moving parts that can easily be overlooked. Even minor errors in your grant application can mean the difference between a $xxx,xxx check and $0. 


Your non-profit has already put so much time and effort into your community and needs the funding to take your project or program to the next level. 


Note: In order for non-profits to have the highest likelihood of grant success, a grant strategy is the essential first step. Our Grant Prospect VIP Week or Grant Funding Strategy is the pre-requisite to hiring us for grant writing services.

After Joyful Grant Consulting, Corp. has researched and strategized the optimal grants to pursue (either through our Grant Prospect VIP Week or Grant Funding Strategy), we are happy to help the organizations then pursue those most aligned opportunities. 


Pricing to be determined by scope of work. 

Additional Services

Joyful Grant Consulting, Corp. also offers other individualized consultation services for non-profits, including grant proposal review and funder outreach.

If your non-profit would like to work with our team in another grant-related capacity not mentioned above, please email joy@joyfulgrants.com to discuss how our work could align. 

Are you interested in us taking the guesswork out of grants for your non-profit?

💵 Are the grants guaranteed to win? 

No, grants are not guaranteed to win. Only the grantmaker/funder can decide who they choose to award grants to.  

The Funding Strategy research process aims to take the guesswork out of grants and suggests the grants with at least a 20% chance of success. While this 20% is not a guarantee, it is based off of all available information given by the grantmaker to determine eligibility, alignment and competitiveness.


🇺🇸 Do I have to be a non-profit based in the US?

Joyful Grant Consulting, Corp. currently focuses on working with non-profits based in the U.S., particularly for the Funding Strategy. However, if international non-profits would like to contract for Grant Proposal Review or a funder outreach project (Power Prospectus), you can email joy@joyfulgrants.com to learn more.


Additionally, our free resources are generally applicable to both domestic and international non-profits. 


🏦 Can we pay after we receive the grant funding?

No, using grant funding to pay grant consultants is considered unethical. Joyful Grant Consulting, Corp. services and set fees are outlined in our contracts and are agreed upon before the services begin. 


📑 Do we need to be a registered 501(c)(3) organization? 

Yes, Joyful Grant Consulting, Corp. only works with non-profits that are recognized and approved by the IRS as tax-exempt. 

The 501(c)(3) status is granted to charitable organizations based in the U.S. that meet a certain criteria. Many grantfunders use 501(c)(3) status as part of their own eligibility criteria as well.
