An exciting opportunity can take a nonprofit in the wrong direction. Before pursuing a grant or partnership, consider the effect on staff capacity and existing commitments. Saying no can protect the mission and leave room for a better fit. #NonprofitLeadership #ConnectDetroit

Access begins long before a program opens its doors. Transportation, language, technology, disability access & scheduling can determine who participates. Building accessibility into the plan from the start creates stronger programs.

Decide how you’ll measure success before a program begins. Choose a few meaningful measures, then review the data while there’s still time to adjust.

Data should do more than fill a report. It should help improve the work.

A strong program deserves a clear grant application. Before submitting:

• State need early
• Explain how funds will be used
• Choose relevant data
• Connect plan to expected results
• Ask an outsider to review

Help reviewers see the value.
