In addition to raising money to further your mission and continue operating, fundraising and grants are great ways for your organization to promote its goals and message. Regardless of the source, money is necessary for your organization to be able to continue their mission. Fundraising events and donor outreach allow you to mold a strong relationship between your organization and potential donors, which will ultimately lead to long term donations in addition to awareness of and loyalty to your mission. Meanwhile, grant writing will also enable your organization to achieve its long-term goals through both monetary funding and the opportunity to further broadcast your mission. 

 

Unfortunately, in an increasingly competitive environment, it is often difficult to find and acquire the funds necessary to run your organization. This holds true on both fronts of finance: fundraising and grant writing. 

 

When it comes to fundraising, it is especially important to maintain high levels of donor retention, as emphasizing consistent longlasting donors over short term ones will largely improve your fundraising efficacy over time. However, building a donor base requires time, patience, and an effective plan. 

 

Grant writing, on the other hand, requires an entirely different strategy. Effective grants must prove your organization’s capacity for success. As such, your grant proposal must reflect high levels of organization, planning, and budgeting in order to be approved. 

 

CYC Health can expand your organization’s finances by helping you reach both your fundraising and grant writing goals. 

 

By measuring your organization’s current efficiency, our team can detect if fundraising efforts would be better used elsewhere. We would assist your organization in reaching its fundraising goals by researching various affordable fundraising software, performing feasibility studies to determine your capacity for fundraising programs, and researching your supporters to tailor donation requests and packages. 

 

The CYC Health team will assist you through every step of the grant writing process. We will conduct extensive research through subscription-based databases to identify applicable grant opportunities from corporate, public, private and federal grantmakers across the nation. Upon compiling a list of applicable grants, we will develop a yearlong grant calendar outlining due dates, appropriate request amounts, and application procedures for each funding opportunity. Finally, CYC Health will provide grant writing workshops to staff members and offer in-depth revision of your grants upon completion. This ensures that only the most effective techniques are being employed in competing for your grant.  

 

Through these services, the CYC Health team aims to help our clients reach their maximum financial potential in order to effectively grow their mission.
