Challenges Faced by Des Plaines CDC Organizations
Four common obstacles hindering CDCs in securing grants.
Time Shortage
CDFIs often struggle to allocate enough time to the grant writing process because they focus on mission-critical activities, leading to rushed or last-minute applications.
Limited Capacity
CDFI organizations with limited staff and resources lack the necessary personnel to dedicate to the extensive process of researching, writing, and submitting grant applications.
Lacking Expertise
CDFI organizations may not possess the specific knowledge and skills in-house to craft a compelling grant proposal, making it challenging to communicate needs and impact effectively to funders.
Unpredictable Cycles
The variability in grant availability and application deadlines can make it difficult for organizations to plan their fundraising activities and maintain steady funding streams.
Our clients come to us frustrated, overwhelmed, and anxious. They know how to write for complex federal or municipal grants but realize it is time-consuming. Some of our clients feel they need support with writing or with strategy. Our clients prefer to focus on their mission of doing good work instead of writing grant applications.
Profound Hope Industries knows how much work an extensive grant application can be. With decades of experience in community development and writing large grant applications that have won millions of dollars, we have streamlined the grant application with Sarah Hope Marshall’s proven TIME method to help mission-based CDFIs win more government grants for economic and community development without overextending their capacity.
PHI’s 3-Step Grant Writing Plan
Our 3-Step Grant Writing Plan provides guidance on strategy and delivers a smooth process to a well-written grant that reflects well on your organization.
1. Build Strategy
Define. Plan. Achieve.
2. Collect Documents
Gather. Organize. Prepare.
3. Revise Draft
Write. Enhance. Finalize.
It’s normal for organizations to scramble to retain a grant writer AFTER the funder opens the application. Why risk this anxiety? Wouldn’t you prefer a smooth process? You will have a stronger grant and better experience if you avoid the scramble and choose PHI’s Grant Writing Services instead.
