The 2019 State of Grantseeking™ Survey
Please contribute your experience to the 2019 Annual State of Grantseeking™ Survey
Why take part?
The State of Grantseeking™ Survey spotlights recent developments in funding so that organizations can be more strategic in their grantseeking.
The resulting – free – State of Grantseeking™ Reports, published in May and June, serve as valuable analytics tools for organizations to review their grantseeking efforts, report on performance, and plan for the future. The benchmarks suggest reasonable levels of funding to expect for an organization based on median awards by organizational budget and mission. This leading-edge information is key data for all organizations.
Please join thousands of others who find value in the reports and complete this survey to offer your insights for the upcoming report. The survey ends March 31, 2019.
