Infrastructure, leadership, and sustainability are the quiet forces that turn a good idea into a lasting impact. That&#8217;s why in this episode of <strong>GrantTalk<\/strong>, <strong>Libby Hikind<\/strong>, founder and CEO of GrantWatch and author of <em><strong>The Queen of Grants<\/strong><\/em>, sits down with <strong>Eloiza Altoro<\/strong>, Fund Advisor for the <strong>Nonprofit Management Fund<\/strong> (<strong>NMF<\/strong>) in Milwaukee. Their conversation reveals how capacity-building grants and consulting support are helping nonprofits thrive, long after the check is written.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Eloiza Altoro of the Nonprofit Management Fund<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With over 30 years of experience in the nonprofit sector, <strong>Eloiza Altoro<\/strong> knows the unique challenges nonprofits face, especially small to mid-sized organizations with limited support staff. From direct service to consulting, her journey eventually brought her back to where it all started: the Nonprofit Management Fund, a collaborative fund dedicated to strengthening nonprofits through capacity building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now in her fifth year as Fund Advisor, Altoro works closely with NMF\u2019s eight funding partners to ensure local nonprofits get the support they need to build internal strength and long-term sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Makes The Nonprofit Management Fund Different?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While many foundations focus on programming, the <strong>Nonprofit Management Fund<\/strong> fills a critical gap: operations. Their grants cover everything from governance and leadership development to financial management, marketing, and communications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe pay for consultants to come in and do the work,\u201d Altoro explained. \u201cA lot of nonprofits don\u2019t receive that kind of funding from other sources.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Grant writers aren&#8217;t typically funded directly, but the Fund offers training cohorts to boost grant-readiness in an effort to help organizations write stronger proposals and make the most of opportunities listed on platforms like <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">GrantWatch<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-ad2f72ca wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/granttalk\/wp-admin\/about.php\">About WordPress<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Smarter Way to Apply for Grants<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Altoro encourages nonprofits to connect before applying. Through one-on-one video consultations, she helps clarify fit, answer questions, and ensure proposals align with the Fund\u2019s priorities. That proactive approach has reduced the number of ineligible applications and strengthened overall quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NMF holds three grant cycles a year, though demand has recently doubled. In response, the Fund frontloaded its support earlier in the year and is reevaluating how to remain as responsive as possible moving forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Replicable Support, Real Impact<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>From pitch competitions that include GrantWatch subscriptions to fundraising \u201cboot camps\u201d for small organizations, the Nonprofit Management Fund offers scalable ideas for building nonprofit strength.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Libby Hikind praised the Fund\u2019s work, noting that the organizations NMF supports are often the ones \u201cboots on the ground,\u201d doing the hard work but lacking the resources to sustain it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their conversation ends on a high note, celebrating the trust nonprofits place in NMF and the open, honest dialogue that helps both funders and grantees grow stronger together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final Takeaway<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBeing perfect isn\u2019t the goal,\u201d Altoro said. \u201cBeing open, honest, and ready to grow, that\u2019s what makes the biggest difference.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This episode of <em>GrantTalk<\/em> is a must-watch for any nonprofit seeking funding, clarity, and direction in today\u2019s evolving grant landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Connect with GrantWatch<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\ud83d\udcd6&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/book\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Queen of Grants<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\ud83c\udf99\ufe0f&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/granttalk.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">GrantTalk Podcast<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\ud83c\udf10&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/grantwatch.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">GrantWatch Subscriptions<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get Featured on GrantTalk<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udcac Comment <em>\u201cmanagement\u201d<\/em> if you want to bring this type of support to your community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Connect with <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\ud83d\udcec <a href=\"mailto:nmffundadvisor@gmail.com\">advisor@nonprofitmanagementfund.org<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/livetheriverlife.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>\ud83c\udf10 <\/strong><\/a><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/nonprofitmanagementfund.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Website<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About GrantWatch<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><em>With over&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/plans.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>10,000 grants<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;currently available,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>GrantWatch.com<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;is the leading grant listing directory.
