Strategic Funding Plans That Power Nonprofit Growth

At Connor Associates, we help nonprofits move from reactive fundraising to long-term financial stability. Our funding strategy services include multi-year grant calendars, funder alignment, and sustainable planning — all built around your mission.

What are the biggest challenges nonprofits face when it comes to funding strategy?

Nonprofits often operate in survival mode, reacting to shortfalls rather than planning ahead. Common challenges include a lack of diversified revenue, absence of a multi-year funding calendar, difficulty identifying aligned funders, and limited internal capacity to manage long-term strategies. These issues lead to missed opportunities and funding instability. Connor Associates helps nonprofits shift from reactive fundraising to proactive planning.

“Always Fundraising in Crisis Mode?”

Without a long-term plan, nonprofits end up scrambling to fill gaps instead of building consistent revenue.

“Too Reliant on One or Two Funders?

A narrow funding base puts your mission at risk. We help diversify income sources to strengthen financial resilience.

“No Roadmap for What’s Next?”

Without a grant calendar or multi-year plan, growth is hard to manage. We help build structure around your funding strategy.

“Unclear Which Grants to Pursue?”

We match you with aligned funders based on your capacity, programs, and goals — not just who’s offering money.
