Project Title: Grant Research and 12-Month Funding Calendar for Youth Outdoor Nonprofit Project Description: I am looking for someone to research and build a 12-month grant opportunity calendar for Overland Youth, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit focused on helping youth and families build confidence, connection, and core memories through outdoor experiences. This project is not for generic grant lists. I need real, relevant funding opportunities that fit our lane and can be used for planning. About Overland Youth: Overland Youth provides outdoor experiences, family-focused programming, youth workshops, and access to nature for young people and families. Our work connects to youth development, outdoor recreation, nature access, family engagement, confidence building, conservation, community wellness, and potentially veteran mentorship. Grant lanes to research: Please focus on grant opportunities related to: Youth development Outdoor recreation Nature access Conservation education Camping, overlanding, or outdoor adventure Family engagement Mental health and wellness through nature Underserved youth access to outdoor experiences Community-based nonprofit programming Veteran mentorship or veterans serving youth, where appropriate Nebraska, Midwest, and national foundation opportunities Small nonprofit-friendly grants What I need delivered: A 12-month grant calendar with opportunities organized by month. Each opportunity should include: Grant/funder name Website link Actual application deadline Internal planning deadline, which should be one month before the actual deadline Grant amount or typical award range Eligibility requirements Why it fits Overland Youth Notes on required attachments, such as budget, IRS letter, board list, letters of support, etc. Whether the deadline is confirmed, estimated from past cycles, or rolling Recommended priority level: High, Medium, or Low Important deadline instruction: For planning purposes, I want the calendar to show an internal deadline that is one month before the actual due date. Example: If the real grant deadline is July 31, the calendar should list our working deadline as June 30. Please still include the actual funder deadline in a separate column. Deliverable format: Please provide the final calendar in an editable spreadsheet format such as Excel or Google Sheets. I would also like a short summary of the best 5 to 10 grant opportunities and why they are the strongest fit. What I do not want: A generic copy-pasted grant list Grants that are obviously not a fit Expired opportunities with no indication of future cycle Federal grants that are too complex for a small nonprofit unless they are a very strong fit Opportunities that require a large existing staff or unrealistic reporting burden AI-generated filler without source links Ideal freelancer: The right person should have experience with nonprofit grant research, foundation research, funding calendars, or nonprofit development work. Experience with youth programs, outdoor recreation, conservation, education, or community-based nonprofits is a plus. Proposal questions: Have you built a grant calendar before? What sources do you use to verify grant deadlines? Can you include both the actual deadline and an internal deadline one month earlier? How many relevant grant opportunities do you believe you can provide? Can you deliver this in an editable spreadsheet? Please share one example of a grant opportunity you think might fit a youth outdoor nonprofit. Budget: Please provide a fixed-price quote. I am open to starting with a smaller research project first if needed, but the main goal is a usable 12-month grant calendar.

Hi, I can surely assist you in creating a detailed and well-organized 12-month grant funding calendar tailored specifically for Overland Youth. I have experience researching nonprofit funding opportunities and can identify relevant grants that align with youth development, outdoor recreation, nature access, family engagement, conservation education, and community wellness programs. I will provide verified funding opportunities with actual deadlines, internal planning deadlines, eligibility requirements, award amounts, application notes, priority ratings, and source links in an editable Excel or Google Sheets format. I can also include a summary of the strongest grant prospects and why they are the best fit for your organization. A couple of questions: 1. Do you currently have a list of grants or funders you have already applied to or want excluded? 2. Would you like the calendar to focus only on 2026 opportunities or include recurring annual grants with estimated future deadlines as well? Thanks.

Hi, I’m Armin Nikdel. I can research and build a real 12-month grant calendar for Overland Youth for USD 250, delivered in about two weeks. I’ll focus on Nebraska, Midwest, and national funders that fit youth development, outdoor recreation, nature access, family programming, conservation education, wellness, and veteran mentorship where relevant. I’ll structure the spreadsheet with actual funder deadlines, internal deadlines one month earlier, award ranges, eligibility, fit notes, required attachments, deadline status, source links, and High/Medium/Low priority. I’ll also include a short summary of the strongest 5 to 10 opportunities so the calendar is useful for planning, not just a list. Should I prioritize Nebraska/Midwest opportunities first when relevance is similar?

Hi, With my background in freelance writing, business strategy, and financial planning, I have experience building structured grant calendars similar to what you require. I use verified sources such as official government portals, foundation websites, nonprofit databases, and established grant directories to ensure accuracy of deadlines and eligibility details. Yes, I can include both the official deadline and an internal deadline set one month earlier to allow sufficient preparation time. Based on project scope, I can deliver approximately 40 to 80 highly relevant grant opportunities, all filtered to match mission alignment rather than generic listings. The final output will be delivered in an editable spreadsheet format (Google Sheets or Excel). For example, a strong fit could be the REI Cooperative Action Fund, which supports youth outdoor access and environmental education initiatives. I have previously built grant tracking calendars and can also structure this into a 12-month planning system with clear prioritization. I would need to discuss a few more aspects with you on chat to tell you the price for the entire project. What specific states or countries should I prioritize for grant sourcing? I will deliver a fully curated, accurate, and actionable grant calendar designed to maximize funding opportunities for your organization. Neha.

Hi, This is Jorge from IT GLOBAL SOLUTION LLC, based in FL, United States. I’ve supported mission-driven organizations with grant research and writing by building structured research trackers in Excel/Google Sheets so opportunities are easy to compare, prioritize, and manage. Your idea is clear and scalable, and a solid tracker will make the writing process faster and more consistent. My approach starts by designing a grant opportunity database in Google Sheets (or an export-ready Excel template if you prefer), with fields such as funder, focus areas (youth/outdoor), eligible geography, applicant requirements, LOI/full proposal thresholds, deadlines, funding range, restrictions, required attachments, submission method, and a notes/history log. I’ll add a scoring rubric (fit score, compliance risk, budget fit, deadline urgency) plus filters/dashboards for quick prioritization. For grant-writing research, I’ll document each funder’s guidelines in a consistent format, extract key themes and evaluation criteria, and map your program outcomes to the language reviewers score. If you want automation, I can include lightweight Google Apps Script to standardize imports, normalize data, and generate summary sheets per funder using patterns I’ve used to automate CRM-style research matrices. I’ll keep everything clean and maintainable, with clear formulas/structure notes so your team can extend it long-term, and Git-based documentation/versioning where appropriate.

I can develop a practical 12-month grant calendar tailored to Overland Youth, focusing on youth development, outdoor recreation, nature access, conservation education, family engagement, community programs, and relevant Nebraska, Midwest, and national funding opportunities.

Example grant fit: Outdoor recreation and youth engagement grants offered by community foundations or conservation-focused funders that support nature-based programs for underserved youth and families. My work is detail-oriented, source-based, and designed to create a useful planning tool rather than a generic grant list. I would be pleased to assist with this project. Best regards, Gerardo Sánchez
