For 20 years, Resource Partners has worked with nonprofit leaders to fund their priorities through major private grants. If you’ve got big goals in mind, your largest corporate and foundation awards can launch the social change your team seeks to make.
One well-known nonprofit recently saw a 23% increase in foundation revenue in year one of our work together, followed by a 165% increase in year two, returns typical of our engagements. These are metrics that tend to improve steadily—often dramatically— in the following years. We regularly play a central role in our clients’ ability to secure their largest awards.
Philosophy/Approach: Are you ready to fund your most inspiring work? If you haven’t maximized your early successes with corporate or foundation grants, we can help. You will lay the groundwork for future success and come away with a blueprint to fund your organization’s wish list. You can learn more about our approach in our monthly series, Major Grants (majorgrants.substack.com).
What makes us most proud are the long-term successes our clients report, which they continue to convey to us years after our work together ends.
Types of clients: Small to mid-size nonprofits, Major nonprofits
Issues/Focus: Civic, Education, Health, Social
Specialization: Independent and corporate foundations are our specialty. What distinguishes our work is its emphasis on major grants—your largest, most leverageable private awards.
We hired Susan to seed and grow our private grants income. She guided us right to the opportunities that best fit NAMI’s priorities. Our staff now has a sixth sense for the best ways to connect with program officers and position our work. We simply would not be where we are, especially with foundation and corporate giving—7-figure gifts, triple digit increases by category—if not for Susan.
