Are Grants keeping your nonprofit stuck? Here’s how to grow faster

If your nonprofit relies heavily on grants and foundation funding, you may feel like you’re constantly waiting on approval and navigating long cycles to secure funds. Meanwhile, your mission’s needs continue to grow. But there’s another way. In The Purpose & Profit Club™, we teach nonprofits to build a flexible, donor-driven revenue system that activates supporters any time you need a boost—no long cultivation cycles, no waiting.

The Reality of Relying on Grant Funding

Nonprofits know that grant funding can be unpredictable and time-consuming. Here’s a look at some eye-opening stats about grants in the nonprofit sector:

  • Success Rates: The average grant success rate is between 10% and 30%, meaning that 70% to 90% of applications do not result in funding. For organizations that rely heavily on grants, this can lead to a constant cycle of applying and reapplying with no guarantees.

  • Timeline to Approval: According to the Center for Effective Philanthropy, 60% of nonprofits report that it takes over 6 months from the time they apply until funds are awarded—and that’s only if they’re approved. Some foundations have a wait time of up to 12 months or more.

  • Labor-Intensive Applications: Grant writing is no small feat. Nonprofits spend, on average, 20-200 hours per application, and these applications often require significant follow-up and reporting. This is valuable time that could be spent on direct mission-driven work.

With The Purpose & Profit Club™, we offer a way out of this cycle. By focusing on creating a flexible, donor-driven revenue system, nonprofits can take control of their funding timeline and reduce dependence on grants.

Why No Other Program Comes Close

In The Club, our members gain access to unique tools, proven systems, and personalized support that allow them to surpass their fundraising goals consistently. Here’s how we make it happen:

The Social Street Team™ Method: Mobilize Donors in Real-Time

Imagine having a loyal network of supporters that you can engage in mini-campaigns whenever needed, with zero notice required. That’s the power of our Social Street Team™ method. With this approach, you’ll build a group of ready-to-act donors who don’t require lengthy cultivation.

One of our members grew their recurring donor base by 53 in just 7 days using Social Street Team™ tactics—all through a single email campaign. Imagine what this method could mean for your nonprofit, allowing you to make real-time asks and receive immediate support from a committed community.

Proven, Fast-Action Strategies for Bold Fundraising

We go beyond traditional “best practices” by delivering bold, high-impact tactics that bring results. In The Club, you’ll learn to make confident, unapologetic asks that inspire transformational gifts—no sales experience required. For instance, one member used our fast-action strategies to secure multiple $25K gifts and cultivate a reliable major donor pipeline.

Our strategies are designed to inspire big actions and even bigger gifts, helping nonprofits reach record-breaking results with each campaign.

Unlimited Expert Feedback on Every Campaign

This program isn’t just about learning; it’s about taking action with expert guidance every step of the way. As a member, you’ll receive unlimited feedback on your fundraising asks, email campaigns, and donor engagement strategies. You’ll never be left guessing what works—you’ll have seasoned experts providing insights tailored to your organization.

Our members frequently double their campaign results thanks to this feedback. One Executive Director doubled their Giving Tuesday campaign outcome using strategies from The Club, transforming a once-standard fundraiser into a major success.

A System to Double Your Next Campaign or Add $50K+ in Revenue

If waiting on grant responses has you feeling stuck, The Club offers a repeatable, growth-driven system that’s been proven to deliver results across campaigns. One member, for example, moved from running the same fundraising strategies each year to adding 100 new donors and exceeding their goal by $50,000. This kind of success becomes attainable with a system designed to grow your funding reliably and consistently.
