You are Already Grantable
As a quick refresh on the “Grantable” series, let’s revisit what the term grantable even means. Grantable is the word that we have chosen to encompass all the components that are involved with finding grants, applying to grants, and hand-tailoring the grant process for your clients. Anyone can be grantable, it’s merely a matter of knowing the grant world and how they fit into it. It’s totally doable, you just have to see how. That’s where we come in.
Why is it Doable?
Being considered grantable really is not a complex process. The most difficult part is simply understanding the grant space. Based on the previous blogs, your clients have already learned a great deal about:
- Eligibility
- Grant purposes
- Financial needs
When your clients enter into the grant search and application process having a strong grasp of their personal eligibility, the purpose behind the grant they’re viewing, and a concept of their financial need, they have all the tools you need. The last thing to fall into place is the act of them applying. The great news about grants is that there is a significant chance for there to be a grant that fits their exact criteria. RFP Match comes into the picture by making it that much easier for your clients to find grants based on their eligibility and needs. Whether they are a teacher, an individual, a corporation, or a nonprofit, being grantable is doable for you and your clients.
What Role Do I Play in This?
The role they play in this process requires two attributes:
- Understanding
- Action
By combining their understanding of their eligibility and needs with the action of applying to grants, they set themselves up for success. Whether it’s you or a client, the role is simple. Know yourself, what you need, and go out and get it. The grants are right at your fingertips! All you have to do is apply.
It Can Happen for Anyone!
Searching for grants and understanding the lingo can feel overwhelming for anyone. The most important thing to remember is that your client’s needs can be represented in a grant, you just need to know where to look. Take a moment to encourage your clients by saying this simple statement:
“Being awarded a grant can happen to anyone. Why can’t it happen to you, too?”
