Beyond the Grant — Rethinking Fundraising in Real-Time
If you’re leading a nonprofit right now, you already know the rhythm: apply, report, wait, repeat. You’ve done the work. You’ve written the grants. And you’ve kept going even when the funding didn’t.
Philanthropy, in many ways, has carried the sector through seasons of growth and hardship. And for that, we hold deep respect. But relying solely on grant cycles in 2025 is like building a house on sand. The foundation needs to shift.
There is more money available than most organizations realize — not in the form of new grants but through existing relationships, overlooked opportunities, and untold stories.
