Strengthening Grant Funding Strategy for Sustainable Growth
Many nonprofits reach a point where early wins are not enough to support the next phase of impact. They need a structured, strategic approach to grant funding. That is exactly why we developed the RIC Grant Strategy Package.
This service is designed for organizations preparing for growth, navigating shifting conditions, or seeking a more intentional grant funding plan that aligns mission, values, and capacity.
This month we are highlighting how this package supported the Urban Oak Initiative, a Georgia nonprofit reimagining community food systems through food justice, health equity, and economic opportunity.
Urban Oak came to RIC at a pivotal moment. They had secured early grant wins and launched promising programs, yet needed a strategic path from startup momentum to long-term sustainability.
Our Grant Strategy Package gave them the structure and tools to move forward with confidence. Led by Grant Consultant, Johanna St. John, GPC, the engagement included:
- A comprehensive organizational grant readiness review
- A digital competitiveness grant analysis
- Targeted grant prospect research with aligned funders
- A step-by-step grant funding roadmap to guide near-term and future activity
These components helped Urban Oak strengthen its operational foundations, understand its strongest funding opportunities, and position itself for future capital investment. Their team has already begun implementing several recommendations, including refining digital storytelling and pursuing new funding opportunities identified through the grant strategy.
If your organization is preparing for growth or reevaluating its grant funding approach, the RIC Grant Strategy Package offers a structured way to understand where you are, where you want to go, and what it will take to get there.
We are here to support you if you would like more information or want to explore whether this service is a good fit for your organization. You can view the details here. Fill out a Work With Us form and we will get you started.
Have You Heard of this Resource? – When Your Budget Needs a Radical Pivot
In November’s episode of Dear Rad Ops, Sha Grogan-Brown sits down with Nat Smith, Finance & Development Director at House of GG and facilitator with A Bookkeeping Cooperative, to talk about what happens when your original budget no longer fits reality.
The episode centers on a familiar situation. An organization is navigating internal conflict, pausing major activities, and designing an organizational development process that will likely stretch into next year. Their 2025 budget was built for a very different work plan. Now they need to realign both organizational and departmental budgets with new priorities, new timelines, and real limits on capacity.
Nat brings a liberatory approach to nonprofit finance, rooted in trans liberation work and decades of organizing. They remind us that budgets are not neutral spreadsheets. Budgets are political documents that should reflect our values, our commitments to our people, and our belief in abundance, even in tense moments.
In the episode, Nat offers guidance on how to:
- Reflect major pivots and internal repair work in your current year budget
- Prepare next year’s budget when your work is still shifting
- Align spending with values and commitments to your constituency
- Use scenario planning as “alternative futures” work instead of pure crisis control
You will also hear concrete suggestions for tools and support, including:
- Trainings with A Bookkeeping Cooperative for teams that want to skill up together
- Nonprofit Budgeting Scenario Planning Tool from Nonprofit Finance Fund, plus an instructional video
- National Council of Nonprofits resources, including a 10-step budgeting checklist
- A reminder to ask your funders what tools or flexible resources they already have available
Questions to bring to your team
Use these as a starting point before you open the spreadsheet together:
- Given the current conditions, what are our hopes and dreams for this organization’s mission?
- What top three values do we want to lean into during this time, and which parts of our work support those values most strongly?
- What commitments have we made to our communities, and which activities truly honor those commitments?
- What hopes for our work are important but not realistic to carry right now?
- Based on this discussion, what two budget scenarios should we explore as “alternative futures”?
Listen or watch the full episode to hear Nat’s full response to the Dear Rad Ops question, then bring these tools and questions into your next budget conversation.
