The Grant-Ready Kit

Templates and numbers for a first (or better) shelter grant application

Grant applications ask a small shelter or rescue for two things: numbers a funder can check, and words that make the case. The Grant-Ready Kit gives you both. Part 1 works out the cost figures funders ask for, from records you already keep, and puts each on the right base. It fixes an easy mistake along the way: dividing the cost per animal by 365 to get a daily figure. Animals stay their length of stay, not a year, so on the worked shelter that shortcut understates the cost of a day of care about fifteen times, and every 'your gift pays for' line built on it with it. Part 2 gives you fill-in templates for the need statement, the project, the outcomes, the budget narrative and your capacity. Part 3 keeps a pipeline of funders that fit. With your purchase comes a personalised sheet worked on the figures you enter in the AnimalShelterTips calculators.
