Evaluate Your Grantseeking Success
Winning grants is important. But understanding why you succeed (or don’t) is just as critical. Tracking grant metrics helps your organization measure performance, improve efficiency, and make better decisions about where to focus your grantseeking efforts.
By identifying the right data to track and reviewing it regularly, nonprofits can strengthen their grant strategy and increase long-term funding success. GrantStation’s Benchmarker can also help you compare your grantseeking performance with other organizations.
Establish a Baseline
Before evaluating performance, your organization needs a baseline or a clear picture of current grant activity. Begin by collecting data such as:
- Number of grants submitted annually
- Number of grants awarded
- Total grant funding received
- Average grant award amount
