The Challenge
Norfolk’s various departments had difficulty finding the right grants and occasionally found themselves accidentally competing for the same funding. This resulted in:
- Redundancies in time and effort.
- Challenges trying to educate more community-based organizations (CBOs) about other funding opportunities.
The Solution
The heroes of the City of Norfolk banded together to create an Office of Grants Management, which used eCivis’ Grants Network to help other departments find grant funding. Through Grants Network, our brave heroes could provide training and resources to nonprofits and help them find their own grants. The Office was also able to leverage comprehensive search results and research training sessions, eliminating difficulties in finding grants.
The Results
With the help of eCivis, our heroes in the Office of Grants were able to double the number of grant awards, minimize time spent searching for grants, and help community-based organizations be more successful in pursuing funding opportunities. Ultimately, the City saw a 204% increase in grant awards, leading to a higher quality of life for Norfolk residents.
Overall, we’ve seen a 204 percent increase in grant awards to the City of Norfolk and our community-based organizations using eCivis.
