THE RESOURCE TABLE


AVOID "MISSION CREEP"
Edited from a copyrighted post at
The Grantsmanship Center


The scenario
New funding is announced - but the focus may be only marginally related to the organization's mission. 

Whether because of projected budget deficits, pressure from above, or economic influences, the grantwriter is driven to create a proposal that "fits" what the funder wants but isn't a great 'fit' for the organization.

The result
A proposed program that will shift the organization away from its original mission. The organization has begun to "chase the money."
And mission creep has begun.

Here are seven steps to help your organization avoid mission creep and become proactive in grantseeking.

Good budgets help nonprofit leaders better understand their organization and its mission, communicate resource needs and goals, and pave the way toward equity. If you're just getting started, this new video series is for you.



GETTING SUPPORT LETTERS

Grantwriters and Program Planners: The best time to reach out for a letter of support is when you have confirmed the role of collaborators in your application. Ideally, that would be two weeks before the “last minute”.
