Carson Valley Food Closet

The Carson Valley Food Closet, located in Gardnerville, Nevada, faced two problems: an old, inefficient distribution facility and a small donor database. The first problem required a new facility, yet the second problem made fundraising for such a capital expense difficult. Food Closet leadership knew it was important to partner with a fundraising consultant to achieve the dream of better serving some 6,000 county residents mired in food insecurity. Working with the Steier Group, the nonprofit doubled the size of its database, uncovered new sources of funding and secured multiple grants. Several foundations in the region contributed when Steier Group grant writers explained the Food Closet’s compelling fight against hunger and its need for better distribution tools. One foundation, when told the nonprofit was still $787,000 shy of its goal, said the capacity-building project was just what it’d been looking for and awarded a grant of exactly that amount. The capital campaign has been a success, raising over $1.4 million and helping the organization open a new facility in 2019.
