Let’s be honest: most nonprofit professionals didn’t get into this work for the spreadsheets. Grant budgets for nonprofits do more than outline expenses. But here’s the truth: grant budgets for nonprofits are just as important as the words on the page. Grant budgets are a crucial part of the story you’re telling funders.

That forces many nonprofit leaders to plan for a scarcity mindset with short-term, safe programs that they know will get funded, instead of long-term and innovative solutions that might include more risks. But many nonprofits that earn organization-changing donations scramble to build the infrastructure to manage the funds effectively.

For so many nonprofit professionals and grant writing consultants, the issue isn’t a lack of intention. And if your grant calendar lives in one place, your tasks in another, your drafts in a hidden folder, and your funder research on sticky notes… of course, your strategy is falling apart. It’s a lack of infrastructure. You get it.

Consider how a small environmental nonprofit transformed its future with just three bequests in its first year of planned giving: these gifts secured enough funding to protect 250 acres of critical habitat in perpetuity.
