Many advocacy nonprofits find it challenging to communicate the depth and impact of their work in the language funders expect. Traditional grant templates–designed for direct service programs–usually focus on outputs, objectives, outcomes, and measurable activities. However, advocacy is different. It’s about power building, policy, and narrative change–the kind of transformation that happens gradually over time and through systemic change.

Writing a compelling advocacy grant proposal requires a different strategy, lens, and storytelling approach.

That’s why I created this guide. It outlines the five essential elements every advocacy nonprofit needs to clearly articulate its needs, work, and impact–without losing sight of your mission’s heart, in ways funders can understand.

Use this guide to strengthen your advocacy proposals, bridge the gap between passion and funder expectations, and position your organization for sustainable funding success.
