Additional Sources of Revenue

You can optimize your success with foundation grants by increasing the number of foundations where you apply.   Do not just rely on your previous grantors for your ongoing success.  Use resources such as the Minnesota Council on Foundations website, mcf.org for new potential grant resources.  As you look through the list, make certain that the grant maker is a good match for your organization. In your grant request, be certain to include how your program will be evaluated and your plans for sustaining your program after the grant monies are gone.
