Matching Grant Funds

It is very important that you apply only to grant opportunities that “fit” your proposed project, and not waste your time or the grantors by chasing grants that aren’t right for your nonprofit. Do this by first taking a look at inward. Knowing what your non-profit needs will make it easier to cull out poor matches and hone in on good grant opportunities.

What type of organization do you have? The majority of grantors – though not all – will fund 501c(3)s. Many organizations also fund schools and government institutions. Other groups (like 501c4s) may need to look for grants that specifically fund that type of organization.
