For small or new nonprofits, applying for smaller grants presents a means to a realistic goal. Often, your best chance is to start small, even though it’s tempting to reach for funding that covers all or most of your cost. To begin with, consider, getting a few smaller grants under your belt. Then, as you grow, you can work your way up to bigger opportunities. It’s a solid plan and GrantWatch<\/a><\/strong> has just what you and your organization need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Nonprofits Should Apply for Small Grants<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Why focus on micro grants? Small grants are a great way to get your foot in the door with funders. By building a strong relationship with funders, it could lead to winning larger grants in the future. Moreover, winning small grants can provide leverage and help build connections with other funders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s more food for thought. Generally speaking, the bigger the funding source, the greater the competition. Furthermore, the larger the grant award, the more complex the application. Subsequently, focusing on applying for smaller grants means you can typically apply for these grants without the need to hire a grant writer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below, GrantWatch has listed some of the latest grants under $10,000 that are now accepting applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
