Grant Writing Success: RMC Secures $126,000 for Refugee & Immigrant Women Through LDS Humanitarian Funding

Grant Writing for Vulnerable Populations: Expanding Access to Housing and Workforce Support

Recovery Movement Consulting (RMC), a national grant writing and nonprofit development firm, is proud to announce the successful award of a $126,000 humanitarian grant for Women of the World (WoW). This funding, secured through LDS Charities, supports refugee and immigrant women through integrated workforce development and housing stabilization services.

This project highlights the power of strategic grant writing to secure funding for vulnerable populations and deliver measurable, community-based impact.

Identifying Funding Opportunities for Underserved Communities

Through targeted grant research, funding strategy, and proposal development, RMC identified a key opportunity to support refugee and immigrant women facing significant barriers to stability and employment.

In Utah and across the country, this population is experiencing:

• Increased housing instability and eviction risk

• Reduced access to public benefits due to immigration status

• Language and workforce barriers

• Ongoing disruption from federal funding cuts

Effective grant writing for nonprofits requires not only identifying funding opportunities—but aligning them with real, urgent community needs.

Grant Proposal Development Aligned with Funder Priorities

This successful award was driven by a comprehensive grant proposal development process, including:

• Clear alignment with LDS humanitarian funding priorities

• Data-driven needs assessment

• Strong program design focused on self-reliance

• Defined, measurable outcomes tied to housing and employment

• Demonstrated sustainability and community partnerships

The proposal positioned WoW’s model as both impactful and scalable, ensuring strong alignment with funder expectations.

Grant Writing for Workforce Development and Housing Stability

The funded project delivers a holistic, grant-funded solution that integrates:

Workforce Development

• Job readiness, resume development, and interview preparation

• Employer connections and job placement

• Wage growth and employment retention support

Housing Stabilization

• Eviction prevention and landlord mediation

• One-time financial assistance for rent, deposits, and utilities

• Housing navigation and placement

Case Management & Navigation

• Individualized self-reliance plans

• Coordination across housing, employment, childcare, healthcare, and legal systems

English & Workforce Readiness

• Language instruction tied directly to employment outcomes

• Digital literacy and job-readiness support

This integrated approach reflects best practices in grant writing for social services, where outcomes must demonstrate both immediate stabilization and long-term impact.

A Strategic Approach to Grant Writing and Funding Sustainability

This grant serves as catalytic, gap-closing funding, designed to stabilize participants during critical moments while supporting long-term self-reliance.

Strong grant writing strategy goes beyond securing funding—it ensures that:

• Programs are sustainable

• Outcomes are measurable

• Funding is used effectively and responsibly

A Word from Shannon Egan

“This grant reflects what effective grant writing can do when it is rooted in strategy, data, and real community need. At RMC, we focus on aligning funding opportunities with programs that deliver measurable impact. Women of the World has built a model that not only stabilizes families in crisis, but moves them toward long-term self-reliance. We’re honored to support their work and help expand their impact.”
