1700% ROI and over $3m in grant awards
Christ College of Nursing and Health Sciences began working with Grants Plus to diversify the institution’s revenue sources. The Grants Plus team identified fifty foundation prospects that matched to the college’s mission and program objectives. We have since provided staff and leadership with cultivation guidance and grant writing support. As a result, the college nearly tripled its grant revenues in the first year of working with Grants Plus. Over the lifetime of our partnership, Christ College has celebrated combined awards of $3.2 million, including three successfully-funded Choose Ohio First grants, and an ROI of 1,710%. The college has received $18 for every $1 invested in our services.
“I love my work with Grants Plus,” says Brad Jackson, Vice President of Strategy and Business Affairs. “I can’t imagine what the team could do better to improve the work.”
