Funder Stewardship and Renewal Plan.

Steward a funder through the grant and toward the next one, because a funder who watched you deliver and account cleanly is your single best prospect for the next grant.

The fifth step of managing the grants you win, across the grant period and near its end.

Part A. Steward through the grant, not just at the end

Plan touches across the grant: share a good result, thank them, invite them to see the work, report before you are asked. A funder should feel like a partner, not a distant auditor.

Touch

When

Owner

Part B. Set up the renewal

Before the grant closes, plan the next ask, a renewal, a larger grant, or a new project, built on the trust you earned by delivering (next ask / timing)

Part C. The relationship owner

Who carries this funder relationship going forward (often the ED, sometimes a board member who holds it)
