In our last post, we discussed how upcoming federal agency workforce reductions and budget cuts could impact grant availability, compliance requirements, and evaluation expectations. Now, let’s focus on what you can do to adapt and maintain access to critical funding opportunities.
1. Diversify Your Funding Strategy
If you rely primarily on federal grants, now is the time to explore alternative funding sources:
✅ State and local government grants – As federal agencies cut funding, states may step in to fill gaps.
✅ Private and foundation grants – Many corporate and nonprofit entities provide non-dilutive funding.
✅ Economic development programs – Innovation, workforce development, and research initiatives may shift to regional and local levels.
Our Funding Menu service provides a curated roadmap of non-dilutive funding opportunities customized for your organization—helping you reduce reliance on a single funding source.
2. Strengthen Your Grant Applications
With increased competition for fewer federal dollars, it’s essential to:
- Align proposals with shifting agency priorities
- Ensure compliance with evolving regulations
- Develop strong impact metrics to stand out
