The Mission

Watch the video to learn how Grants Plus partners with The Centers to support their mission of fighting for equity by healing, teaching, and inspiring individuals and families to reach their full potential.

The Challenge

With The Centers’ services rapidly expanding, the demand for high-quality grant proposals to match the growing needs of the organization became a pressing challenge. Managing the volume of work without compromising on the quality of proposals or strategic planning was becoming increasingly difficult for the relatively small staff, especially given the exponential growth of the organization.

The Journey

Over the course of a 10+ year partnership, Grants Plus provided unwavering support wherever their expertise was needed, including staffing transitions, onboarding new team members, and specialized help with one-off federal grant opportunities. This committed relationship allowed The Centers to adapt to the evolving landscape, meet each challenge head-on, and maintain continuity and best-in-class services while delivering transformative solutions for approximately 20,000
people across the region.

The Results

The collaboration between The Centers and Grants Plus has been nothing short of transformative. With over 200 awarded grants totaling nearly $30 million, the partnership has not only fortified The Centers foundation for long-term growth but has also had an immense positive impact on the community. The last engagement alone resulted in an astonishing ROI of almost 2,000%. As The Centers continues to evolve upon its remarkable near 150-year legacy, it stands as a beacon of health, family, work, and hope within their community.
