New Grantstation Report – “The State of Grantseeking Fall 2013”

GrantStation released the seventh semi-annual survey, The State of Grantseeking Fall 2013.”  This report is a survey of nonprofits conducted by GrantStation and PhilanTech to illustrate the current state of grantseeking in the U.S. 

Highlights from the Fall 2013 Report:

  • The number of award recipients during the first six months of 2013 increased by 21% compared to the Fall 2012 survey.

  • In this survey, 31% of respondents reported receipt of larger awards than during the same period in the prior year.

  • Compared to the Fall 2012 survey, the median award size decreased by 8%.

  • Funding from all levels of government decreased between 5% and 9% compared to last year, yet government at all levels increased as the source of the largest grant award.

GrantStation provides access to a searchable database of private grantmakers that accept inquiries and proposals from a variety of organizations; federal deadlines; links to state funding agencies; and a growing database of international grantmakers. The next “State of Grantseeking” is scheduled for release in early 2014.
