Where to find foundations in order to convert them to customers

The idea that helps Foundations

Foundations want to streamline grant application processes. However, they can't get it because they face inefficiencies in managing grant applications and evaluations.

Therefore, they need to use your solution, e.g. GrantEase.

Grant Management Software for Foundations : GrantEase is a user-friendly software platform that automates grant application processes, simplifies evaluation criteria, and provides real-time tracking of grant allocations, enabling Foundations to streamline their operations and focus on their philanthropic missions. Of course it is much better than the stuff from GrantPro, or FundFlow!

How to find Foundations

You can get insights about the pain points of foundations if you listen to them carefully, either in person or online. Listening online is much easier because you need not ask them for a customer interview but you can observe them talking about their problems, out there in their natural habitat. They won’t even notice that you are there, watching and listening to them.

The process, step by step

One process that we can totally recommend is this:

  • Find out where foundations hang out (Reddit, Mastodon, etc.)
  • Read what problems they talk about, and how urgent they are to them. (Did they try any solutions, yet? Did they spend money on anything, yet? Did they even cobble a homegrown solution together?)
  • Enter the conversation: Help them with tips, ask more about their situation and why they are in pain.
  • If you find recurring questions or pet peeves of foundations, create some helpful content for them (e.g. a blog post, a podcast episode, or a video) and share it with them for free, in the same conversations. They will be delighted.
  • At the end of the blog post, invite them to use your solution: Grant Management Software for Foundations.

I described the process here in my blog post: Identify a hungry audience.
