Grantful Case Studies
$5 Million for National Mental Health Program
The Challenge
A national mental health organisation with strong philanthropic success lacked the internal capability to pursue its first major federal grant. They needed to compete in a highly competitive field that included for-profit providers, and their proven state-based program required significant adaptation to meet the grant’s stringent national criteria.
The Solution
Grantful provided end-to-end strategic leadership to de-risk the submission. We guided the client to adapt their program for a national, niche cohort and developed a response strategy that systematically addressed the assessment criteria. Every key claim was then substantiated with evidence to ensure the submission would score highly against the formal assessment matrix.
The Outcome
The result was a successful $5 million federal grant. This funding enabled the organisation, in collaboration with a key partner, to scale their evidence-based program nationally for the first time, reaching a new and critical cohort in the mental health sector.
This project is a powerful example of our Tender Writing – Outsourced Delivery service, designed for organisations pursuing operationally critical government funding.
