  3. STABLE GIVING Foundations must make charitable grants – in good times and bad – of at least 5% of their assets, averaged over five years.

  4. PREDICTABLE GIVING Foundations exist to donate to charity, unlike individuals and corporations, who have a variety of shifting interests and priorities that are dependent on a robust economy.

  5. LOW RISK / LOW COST unlike high expenditure / high risk fundraising efforts like golf tournaments and galas, foundation fundraising requires very little upfront investment, typically $5,000-$15,000, and with the average single foundation grant amount of $59,300 (2019, 2020),

  6. LOW EFFORT relative to almost any other form of fundraising, approaching foundations requires fewer resources to succeed.

  7. GROWTH the most recent CCS Fundraising survey (August, 2020) indicates that foundation funding was the fastest growing giving source since 2015-19, growing at a rate of 5.7%, compared to 3.2% for giving by individual donors.

  8. INCREASED CREDIBILITY FOR YOU AND YOUR ORGANIZATION well, once you get funded by a foundation that is. When you are successful in attracting a foundation grant you will open up many doors in the foundation and corporate world for your organization for years to come – you have proven that you are worth funding and can deliver.

  9. DIVERSIFICATION OF FUNDING SOURCES financial advisors will strongly advise you not to put your life savings into a single stock or sector; for the same reason, having a variety of funding sources—including foundation funding—will strengthen your organization and protect it from the sharp downturns every economy periodically experiences.

  10. THANK'S FOR WATCHING
