Creative Community Solutions Lessons Learned

In early 2022, the Bush Foundation announced Strengthen ND as one of its four partners to develop, implement, and evaluate a new funding initiative: Community-Based Grantmaking Programs. Our goal with this opportunity is to eliminate currently inequitable and ineffective systems involved in philanthropy by increasing the accessibility and flexibility of available charitable dollars. As a part of our efforts to continually learn and improve, we are offering our One-Year Lessons Learned & Reflections to the broader grantmaking field in North Dakota and to inform past, current, and future applicants.

Strengthen ND’s Grant Writing Manual, coupled with the Grant Writing Workshop Series, is meant to provide nonprofits and community groups with some easily implementable tips and tricks to improve your current grant writing methods.  This manual is meant to be utilized as a reference guide and toolbook.  Feel free to steal, copy, or otherwise plagiarize anything in this manual for your own use!  There is no need to “reinvent the wheel” when it comes to grant writing in nonprofits in North Dakota.  The more resources and strategies we share among the nonprofit community, the better off North Dakota will be.
