MILLIONAIRE GRANT LADY SUCCESS STORIES
Testimonials from Winning Clients
When our clients do win (and they win a lot) we celebrate them.
When Difficult Work Pays Off
As anyone who has worked with nonprofits for any length of time will tell you: there are never any guarantees when it comes to grant writing.
Crafting winning grant proposals is difficult work, and even when you think you did everything right, sometimes the funder decides to go in a different direction.
I’ve spent years detailing all the different things you can do to give yourself the best chance of success, from designing solid programs to including the correct attachments to highlighting relevant data. The purpose of a grant proposal is to tell the story of your organization, and my team works hard to ensure that every application, whether mailed in full or submitted in seventeen separate text boxes across five pages of a portal, tells that story well.
So when our clients do win—and they win a lot—we make sure to celebrate them, because we know how hard they worked to create programs worth funding, and how hard we worked to write proposals worth reading.
We have many worthy clients who have won big by partnering with us. They make our job easy by designing great programs that serve those who need it most, and any time we get a win for them, we feel great knowing that the funds will make a measurable and meaningful difference in their communities.
Let’s celebrate a few of those clients and briefly highlight what has made each of them recurring grant winners and success stories. If your nonprofit has a program worth funding, we can help tell your story and maximize funding for your mission driven work.
Schedule a call with my team to discuss how we can help you to take the next step in your organizational journey.
We're Here to Celebrate
Advocates for Special People
Advocates for Special People works to enrich the lives of intellectually disabled adults. The funds we helped them win will dramatically increase their ability to serve more people and provide them with the specific help to meet their unique needs.
When they first came to us as a client, they were just hoping for enough money to buy one van. Instead, we got enough to purchase the van and an additional $60,000 in grant funding to operate their programs.
We still have a few grants pending, but those alone have already made their investment worth it.
Paluxy River CAC
Paluxy River CAC works with the most vulnerable of populations: child abuse victims. They help children to feel safe and heard, facilitate justice, and foster healing. They have been an MGL client since 2019, during which time we have helped them to procure grant funding for their counseling services and other programming. They have regularly experienced 10 times the annual return on investment. Because of this success, we are now helping them with their capital campaign.
In the words of Margaret Cohenour, Executive Director, “Millionaire Grant Lady & Associates had a good understanding of program issues and brought structure to seeking grants and increased funding that allowed my program to grow!”
Samaritan House
Samaritan House is dedicated to the belief that housing is a human right and provides permanent housing options for Tarrant County residents to achieve self-sufficiency and independence. Their mission is housing today, hope for tomorrow. During their first contract, we won them $303,000 in grant funding to support their permanent housing initiatives. Within the last year, they added 24 units to their existing properties to house those who are most in need. They were so satisfied with the first year that they signed a second contract.
After we sent them updated grant proposals for the coming cycle, Kim Robinson, CEO, replied, “The new grant templates look REALLY GOOD!!”
Partnership Home
Partnership Home is another MGL client who works to eliminate homelessness in Tarrant County.
Their vision is a vibrant community where individuals and families have a place to call home and the resources to live their best lives. They host an annual Housing Summit to convene stakeholders in the community and have done immense work to connect various nonprofits in working toward a shared goal.
We recently won them national private competitive money from the Bezos Fund, and a first grant from a foundation they had been pursuing for years.
BRAVE/R
BRAVE/R is creating more opportunities for residents of the 76104 zip code, which contains some of the most underserved communities in Tarrant County. They are fueling education, workforce development, accessible healthcare, and affordable housing by communing community leaders to tackle underlying issues at their source.
Within six months of working with me, we won them a $1 million local government grant and an additional $400,000 in private grants.
As a relatively new organization, this funding is life-changing for them and the people they serve.
A Proven Track Record of Success
While there are no guarantees in grant writing, these are examples of our real results for our clients. Across all of my clients, 93% of clients who have received a grant before seeking services have received a positive return on investment, and two-thirds of those organizations make eight times or more return on investment (ROI).
I wake up grateful every day to have found a job that activates the analytical side of my brain, uses my creativity and problem-solving skills, and allows me to have a positive impact on the world. I use these skills and my more than a decade of experience in grants to create streamlined processes that save clients time while increasing their grant funding.
If you are looking for an expert team to position you to win more grant funding, give us a call today. We are ready to support your nonprofit in its important work.
