You’re doing everything right—running programs, managing staff, juggling admin—and STILL your grant funding feels like a never-ending scramble. Meanwhile, tens of thousands (even hundreds of thousands) of dollars are sitting in grant pools that most not-for-profits completely overlook.
They’re called ongoing grants, and chances are…
You’re leaving this money on the table.
The Big Mistake Most Not-for-profits Make
When it comes to grant funding, most organizations are stuck in a vicious cycle: a deadline appears, panic sets in, resources are shuffled, and a last-minute application is thrown together. Rinse and repeat.
Yes, deadline-driven grants matter. But if that’s all you’re chasing, you’re missing the real goldmine: Ongoing grant opportunities.
What Are Ongoing Grants?
Ongoing grants are funding opportunities available year-round. Unlike fixed-deadline grants that open and close within tight windows, ongoing grants often have rolling deadlines or accept applications anytime throughout the year. That means you can apply when you’re ready, not when the grant portal says it’s due. And yet… most not-for-profits don’t pursue them.
Why?
- Lack of Perceived Urgency – Without a ticking clock, these funding opportunities are easy to postpone—or ignore altogether.
- Harder To Discover – Many ongoing grant opportunities are buried on funders’ websites or not promoted widely.
- Require Strategic Planning – Ongoing funding is strategic by nature, and many teams are too stretched to approach them proactively.
To make it easier, we’ve compiled a curated list of ongoing grants. Take a look and find opportunities that fit your mission.
Why Ongoing Grants Are Your Ticket to Predictable Cash Flow
Ongoing grants offer significant advantages over traditional deadline-driven funding:
- Less Competition – While everyone else rushes to meet hard deadlines, you can swoop in and apply with confidence.
- Greater Flexibility – Align applications with your calendar and capacity. No panic, no missed deadlines.
- Better Planning – Build a reliable funding pipeline instead of chasing short-term, one-off gains.
- Multi-Year Potential – Many ongoing funders offer longer-term commitments, giving you breathing room and funding stability.
If you’re committed to long-term impact, ongoing grants are your ticket to predictable, stress-free funding.
