Welcome to Grant Gems with Dr. Kim! Over the next 3 weeks, we’re rolling up our sleeves and diving into what it takes to position you for success in 2025. Our mission? To craft a winning fundraising plan that elevates your organization and drives results.

Grab your notebooks, iPads, or laptops—this isn’t just inspiration; it’s implementation. We’re here to strategize, prioritize, and turn your fundraising goals into reality.

The first step for you to start on a fundraising plan is to assess your current situation and establish clear goals. This involves:

1. Review your Financials and Funding Sources:

-Analyze past fundraising efforts, identify what worked and what didn’t.

-Understand your current budget, funding gaps, and revenue sources.

2. Clarify your Mission and Priorities:

-Revisit your organization’s mission to ensure alignment with your fundraising goals.

-Determine specific funding priorities such as programs, operations, or new initiatives).

3. Set SMART Goals:

-Define Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound goals. For example: “Raise $50,000 by Q2 2025 to expand your youth mentorship program.”

By starting with a clear understanding of where you are and where you need to go, you’ll build a strong foundation for an effective and targeted fundraising plan.
