Grant research services
“We don’t know which grants we qualify for” is one of the most common things we hear. Grant research answers that question before you spend hours on the wrong application.
Find funders that fit
Applying to every grant you find wastes time and hurts morale. Good grant research narrows the field to funders whose priorities truly match your work.
What we look at
- Mission and program alignment with each funder’s stated priorities
- Geographic focus and service area requirements
- Eligibility rules, such as 501(c)(3) status, organization age and budget size
- Typical award ranges and what funds can and cannot pay for
- Deadlines, cycles and whether a letter of inquiry comes first
- Past giving patterns, where that information is published
What you receive
A prioritized list of opportunities with notes on fit, requirements and timing, plus a recommended order of attack. From there you can apply on your own or have YES! write the applications.
Research is a starting point
If research shows your organization isn’t ready for certain funders yet, we will tell you what needs to change. That usually leads to grant readiness work.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Do you use grant databases?
YES! uses a combination of published funder guidelines, public records and research tools as appropriate to your project. We discuss the approach during your consultation.
Can a new nonprofit get grants?
Some funders support newer organizations, while others require a track record, audited financials or a minimum operating history. Research helps you find the ones that fit where you are today.
