2025 SAMHSA Trends 

 

SAMHSA has released their FY 2025 NOFO (Notice of Funding Opportunity) forecast, which highlights a continued emphasis on grants tailored to state, territory, local, and tribal governments. For nonprofits, the funding landscape remains competitive, with most opportunities offering 12 or fewer awards nationwide. 

 

As the shift in favor of state and local government funding continues, we encourage partners to diversify their grantor sources. Explore funding opportunities through other federal agencies whose priorities align with your mission. Taking a proactive approach can strengthen your organization's resilience and funding stability.

 

To support this effort, we are offering complimentary grant curation services to help you identify and pursue the best opportunities for your organization. Contact us today to learn more about how we can assist with your grant strategy.

Cultivating Relationships with Grantors

 

Forging lasting partnerships with grantors can benefit your organization far beyond initial federal funding. Nonprofits that build strong relationships with funders benefit from additional collaborations, develop key connections, and ultimately improve their probability of securing sustainable funding. Here are actionable steps for your organization to lay the foundation for meaningful partnerships.

 

Understand Your Grantors
Becoming familiar with grantors’ priorities are crucial – both before submitting your proposal and after you have received funding. Understanding their mission, values, and current funding opportunities. This helps you identify shared objectives and future programs.


When following up, personalize your messages to direct contacts. Share updates or insights they’ll find relevant and highlight how your work aligns with their broader mission. By referencing their initiatives or interests, you can build a rapport that demonstrates your commitment to their goals and creates a foundation for a stronger relationship. Continually show your commitment to their mission and establish a meaningful connection that can grow into strong relationships.


Prioritize Communication
Sharing updates proactively is key to building trust. Don’t wait for mandatory deadlines to provide information. 

  • Share Impact Stories: Offer details about your program, including emerging data and personal stories of those directly impacted by your work. These real-life narratives highlight the significance of your efforts and how they align with the funder’s objectives.

  • Be Transparent About Challenges: Openness about challenges or setbacks fosters trust and collaboration. Frame your communication with a solution-focused approach, showcasing how your organization is addressing and overcoming hurdles.

  • Highlight Compliance: Demonstrate your trustworthiness by consistently aligning your budget with the stated objectives of the grant. Transparent reporting and proactively seeking feedback ensure that your efforts align with the grantor’s expectations and strengthen credibility.


Cultivate a Collaborative Partnership
Using funding effectively and responsibly is paramount to grantors. By prioritizing compliance and transparency, you can build trust and credibility. Remain solution-focused as you work within the criteria set. Value your funder’s expertise by seeking feedback in improving your program.    


Foster year-round engagement with open communication between grant cycles through newsletters, holiday updates, or informal check-ins to demonstrate your commitment to cultivating the relationship.

 

Strong relationships with grantors are vital to meaningful collaboration and future funding. Your organization can establish itself as a trusted and valued partner by focusing on transparent communication, accountability, and collaboration.

 

These strategies establish groundwork for long-term relationships that go beyond the grant cycle. With a focus on effective communication and shared goals, your organization can create ongoing support that drives long-term success and improves your program's effectiveness and reach.
