Grants Calendar & Fundraising Strategy for a Growing Nonprofit

The Four Deliverables:

1. Fundraising Landscape Assessment A clear evaluation of the foundation's current funding environment — who is funding organizations like ours in Gwinnett County and Georgia, what the competitive landscape looks like, and where the greatest funding opportunities exist for a workforce development and food access nonprofit at our stage of growth.

2. Prioritized Funder List: A focused set of our strongest prospects across three categories — grants, corporate sponsors, and individual major donors — with documented prioritization criteria our team can use to extend the list independently. Quality over quantity. The ten strongest prospects in each category, ranked and explained.

3. 12-month Fundraising Plan: A realistic, phased fundraising plan covering August 2026 through August 2027 — showing which funding streams to pursue in which sequence, what the realistic revenue targets are for each stream, and how each stream contributes toward the $150,000 Phase 1 escrow target and the foundation's post-opening operational sustainability.

4. Grants Calendar: A month by month grants calendar showing every identified grant deadline, submission window, and follow up date across the 12 month planning horizon — giving the Grants Director and Fundraising & Development Coordinator a single, actionable reference document for the full year.
