HOW IDF-SBA HELPS
Get support now.
Get stronger as you go.

You do not have to wait until your nonprofit is perfect to begin building funding momentum.

IDF-SBA helps nonprofit organizations access practical support, reduce operating costs, strengthen credibility and build the tools and materials that make it easier to keep the mission moving.

Some resources are $0 to everyone or verified nonprofits. Some are provided through the YES Grant. Some are available through Membership or PLUS. Practical website, branding, technology and readiness work may also be done with you or for you.

START WITH
WHAT WORKS NOW

A first YES, a free tool, a cost-saving resource, or a stronger presentation can create the next step.

NOT GRANT-READY YET?
That does not mean you are not funding-ready.

Major foundation or government grants may require years of history, audited financials, experienced staff or sophisticated systems. That is only one part of the funding world.

IDF-SBA starts with its own grants and in-kind support, broadly shared corporate community funding information, free and discounted resources, technology and readiness tools that may be available much earlier. Then we help you strengthen the organization as you grow.

WE TEACH
YOU PURSUE

Funding information is shared generally, not as individualized fundraising representation.

YOU STAY IN CONTROL OF FUNDRAISING.
We help you understand the landscape.

IDF-SBA provides general funding education, readiness tools and broadly shared opportunity information. We do not identify specific funders for an individual organization, prepare or submit funding applications, or act as a fundraising representative.

Our role is to help you understand what is available, strengthen how your nonprofit presents itself and give you practical tools to pursue support on your own.

START WITH WHAT YOU NEED NOW.
Then build from there.

Explore current programs, see whether you qualify for the YES Grant, or choose the level of ongoing support that fits your organization.
