Grant Strategy & Support
How do we access government funding?
Destinate recognizes that not-for-profit organizations often require government grant support to execute critical projects. We understand funding applications, government processes, administration of grants and how to successfully execute funded projects.
With the government announcing new grants regularly, it is difficult for destinations to stay up to date on all the programs currently available and their associated details. It takes time and experience to articulate programs effectively in grant applications. Leave the detailed work to us. Destinate regularly develops grant applications and oversees grant administration. We are confident in our ability to position your organization and your project in order to attain the highest probability of success.
The grant application process is multifaceted. Applicants must:
Understand the grants available and the priorities of each
Communicate directly with grant representatives
Confirm potential projects that fit specific grant programs
Engage applicable partners for the project
Describe the details of the project as required by the specific application including:
Project overview and objectives
Key activities
Project partners, partner funding and letters of support
Project budget and timelines
Review and submit final applications
Follow up with grant representatives for confirmation of funding
We have funding, now what?
This is a common challenge that lean organizations face. The funding arrives but the organization doesn’t have the time or resources to deliver the project requirements. That’s where Destinate can help! Our seasoned grant program project managers can oversee your project. Often, our fees can be incorporated directly into the project funding.
The grant administration process includes the following:
Contract execution and project start
Confirm workback schedule for activities and reporting requirements
Oversee the successful completion of all tactics
Provide required reporting and administration to grant provider
Liaise with accounting on all project costs
Measure the success of the project against project objectives
Provide a close-out meeting and complete final forms
