Winning Strategic Philanthropy
& Private Ancillary Fund Grants
The Challenge
A charity supporting individuals post-incarceration had strong success with small and medium grants but needed to elevate its approach to engage strategic philanthropists. A time-sensitive EOI from a Top 10 Private Ancillary Fund—with a 3-week window - put their readiness to the test.
The Solution
Grantful was initially engaged by the client to overhaul their master content library and this project began tackling the high-stakes EOI. We developed a persuasive, evidence-informed narrative that was meticulously tailored to the fund's priorities and articulated within extremely tight word counts, successfully navigating both the EOI and the second-stage application.
The Outcome
The diligent, strategic approach was successful. The client was one of only 15 organisations funded from a pool of over 110 applicants, securing over $100,000. More importantly, they now have a master library of high-quality, reusable content to confidently pursue future strategic grant and philanthropy opportunities.
