What’s the first step to fund a mobile clinic?
It starts with targeted research. You want to focus on funders who care about healthcare, community development, or social welfare. Don’t just Google — use platforms like GrantWatch or Grants.gov to dig deeper. Local foundations are great too because they’re often invested in your community. If you put in the work here, you’ll be applying to grants that actually align with your mission.

How do you match your clinic to a funder’s goals?
This is about alignment. Every grant has specific criteria, and your job is to show that your mobile clinic fits perfectly with what the funder wants to achieve. Read everything carefully. Create a checklist. If you’re not a match, move on. If you are, show how your clinic supports their goals like serving underserved communities or improving health access.

What makes a grant proposal stand out?
It’s the story. People think a proposal is all budgets and data, but funders are human. Tell them why this matters. What problem are you solving? What change will your mobile clinic create? Be specific. Use real numbers, include quotes from AVAN Mobility for your budget, and add personal impact. A compelling narrative with strong data wins hearts and funding

How do you finalize and follow up on a grant application?
Before hitting submit, make sure every supporting document is ready; financials, letters of support, your organization’s history. Follow the grant’s instructions exactly. After submission, stay alert. Some funders let you track progress or may ask for clarifications. Respond quickly. And if you don’t get it? Keep going. Grant success is about persistence.
