Is your organization applying for grant money that is currently being allocated from the recent US Government Stimulus Package? Whether or not your grant specifically requires it, a well-structured strategic plan can help you compete.

Applying for Stimulus Money?

Don't submit your government grant application without a strategic plan. Reviewers want to know how funding your project will help achieve a greater impact.

Don't let your application get lost in the pile, make sure yours stands out from the crowd by  including a strategic plan so funders understand how the money will help you achieve your mission and vision

Why does my grant proposal need a strategic plan?

Writing a winning government grant proposal requires strategic thinking & planning beforehand.  In order to be successful, you must convince members of the grant program that your organization is well managed, efficient, understands its purpose and has a clear roadmap to get there. Strategic planning factors in what you intend to accomplish and how you plan to do it.

Most importantly, it demonstrates that your organization has linked activities to objectives that are plotted toward reaching your long-term goals. Strategic planning provides measurable outcomes and facilitates your ability to produce convincing reports & metrics. Winning a government grant requires more than a great idea and inspiring vision.

You have to prove that you are organized, strategic and moving in the right direction.  You need a clear plan before you can write a convincing proposal.

This eliminates the endless amounts of drafts of spreadsheets that never get used.

In addition, this also means that you benefit from our award-winning application that's so much more than a spreadsheet. MyStrategicPlan guides your organization throughout the creation and implementation of your strategic plan all year long, providing professional reports and a flexible system for you to edit, revise and track the goals, objectives and tasks that your organization accomplishes.
