As a former high school basketball player, I’ve always resonated with the saying, “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.” This is the perfect analogy for the current landscape of grant opportunities. If you’re sitting on the sidelines or letting the clock run without making a move, you’re missing out on game-changing funding that could propel your Tribe forward with new or expanded services. Now is the time to get in the game and start taking your shots!

When it comes to grant writing, Tribes typically face two options: hire in-house grant writers or outsource the task. While hiring in-house can be effective, it’s often difficult to find experienced grant writers willing to take a full-time position with a Tribe or relocate. Even if you do find someone, building an effective grant writing team from scratch takes time and resources.

On the other hand, outsourcing your grant writing needs can be a smart, immediate solution. This is where Native Advisory comes in. With our extensive experience and network of expert grant writers, we provide bolt-on support that integrates seamlessly with your Tribe’s goals and objectives.

At Native Advisory, we understand the strategies that lead to successful grant applications. Personally, I’ve overseen the creation of a highly successful grants office, and I know what it takes for Tribes to secure significant funding. When you work with us, you gain access to a team of talented, expert grant professionals who are proven winners that know all the players and leading practices. We don’t just prepare applications; we make sure you’re taking the right shots. And when we miss the shot? We reconfigure the play and get right back on the court.

Pursuing grant opportunities is an investment – one that can yield significant returns for your Tribe. Whether you choose to hire in-house grant writers with salary and benefits or bolt on the support you need with an outsourced solution like Native Advisory, it’s essential to recognize the value of this investment. The funding you secure today can transform your tribe’s future, funding essential programs, infrastructure projects, and innovative initiatives.

The current landscape of grant opportunities is rich with potential. Now is the time to act, to take your shots, and to secure the funding that can make a lasting impact on your Tribe.
