Hi, I’m Alex Dunn, the Millionaire Grant Lady. I have 15 years of grant writing experience and over $103 million in awards under my belt. I’m excited to share with the DFW501c.news audience some tips, tricks and opportunities in Federal Funding.
Federal funding can be a great way to grow and support your organization’s services. The organizations that win the most federal funding have two things in common:
- They apply to every opportunity they are a good fit for. This gives them multiple chances to win.
- They decide quickly whether or not to apply. The average organization spends between 150-300 hours preparing a federal grant application. Deciding quickly allows them to spend the maximum amount of time developing a competitive application.
Here are two of the latest Federal RFP’s:
