CASE STUDIES
Quality and quantity - Set for success in the new grant landscape
-
Client: Mamma’s Hands, King County, WA
Like many nonprofits facing the increase of invite-only grants, Mamma’s Hands needed to identify new opportunities along with a strategy to emphasize their competitiveness.
-
IMPACT Grant Writing built a real strategy that vetted every opportunity in the delivered portfolio against mission alignment, funder behavior, and realistic likelihood of success. Alongside each prospect came a strategy brief with concrete guidance on positioning, storytelling, and potential partners for Letters of Support. “That level of detail changed how we show up to every submission.”
-
“What really stood out was the quality of what was found.” Of the 32 prospects identified, roughly 75% were open to unsolicited applications.
“Maureen's work gave our team clarity, alignment, and real confidence moving forward. If your nonprofit is serious about building a smarter, more sustainable grant program, I'd recommend IMPACT Grant Writing without hesitation.” – Star L.
Securing Funding for
Affordable Housing
-
Client: Central Valley Habitat for Humanity
Each year, two-thirds of older adults discharged from hospitals struggle with daily activities and cannot care for themselves at home. Without a safe discharge plan, patients must remain hospitalized, leading to bed shortages and delayed care for others. These extended stays also harm patients’ emotional and mental recovery. Since environmental factors like housing account for nearly 80% of health outcomes, improving home safety is essential to helping senior homeowners recover and age in place.
-
We used evidence-based data to develop SMART objectives and measurable outcomes that aligned with the funder’s goals. Our strategy highlighted the program’s impact on reducing hospital readmissions and improving senior health. The application connected the project to broader community priorities: promoting safe, affordable housing and supporting aging in place.
-
Client was awarded a six-figure grant in partnership with a regional health provider to support aging adults through home-based interventions that enhance their health and functionality in their homes.
Workplace Development – Addressing the Nurse Shortage in Virginia
-
Client: Virginia Mennonite Retirement Community/VMRC Foundation
Virginia ranks among the top states nationally in projected need for nurses with 5,560 new nurses required by 2030. The Central Shenandoah Valley faces an aging nurse workforce and financial barriers which make it difficult for aspiring medical professionals to advance. The VMRC Foundation established a Nurse Scholarship Program to fund 20 nurse scholarships over five years for students in the region.
-
After exceeding its scholarship fundraising goals through private donors, the Foundation needed a clear communications strategy to attract strong internal and external applicants. IMPACT Grant Writing LLC partnered with Foundation staff, clinical leaders, Human Resources, and Corporate Marketing to develop and launch targeted resources that supported education, recruitment, and the application process—ensuring the Nurse Scholarship Program reached the right candidates, maximizing the potential applicant pool.
-
As a result of Program rollout and education, application awareness, and supervisor-led engagement, VMRC attained the following results:
