Calculating Grant Success Rates
There are various ways organizations calculate grant success rates. To provide a level of comparison, consider the following national success rates.
- Source 1: https://fundingforgood.org/about-grant-writer-success-rates/ for new and existing programs/funders 50%-60%
- Source 2: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/grant-proposal-success-rate-jarrett-r-ransom-mba/ the industry standard is 30%
The average national grant success rates using the information from these two sources: 30% to 60%
