3 grants won

The Challenge
ACTS, a community organization focused on social services and support, wanted to increase funding through grants — but needed a more consistent and efficient way to do it.
“We’re living in an era where you either fight AI or you embrace it. For us, we had to figure out how to use it to improve the services we provide.”
— Stan Jones, ED at ACTS
Like many nonprofits, they faced:
Limited time for grant research and writing
Inconsistent application output
Difficulty building momentum over time
The Approach
With Vee, ACTS focused on creating a more structured and consistent grant workflow.
Using Grant, Vee’s AI grant teammate, they were able to:
Identify relevant grant opportunities
Maintain a steady application pipeline
Submit stronger, more aligned applications
Instead of approaching grants reactively, they built a system for ongoing, consistent submissions.
At the same time, ACTS used Maggie, Vee’s AI social media teammate, to stay visible and consistently share their work — helping reinforce their mission, engage their audience, and expand their reach.
“If I can have a mechanism for pursuing a grant that I otherwise would never pursue — and it’s working while we’re asleep — shouldn’t we at least consider using it?”
— Stan Jones, ED at ACTS
Why ACTS Chose Vee
“Vee gives us exposure and opportunity to spread the word about what we do and seek the right support to meet the needs of the people we serve.”— Stan Jones, ED at ACTS
“It’s a lot less expensive than hiring a full-time person — and it opens the door to hundreds of organizations that want to help.”
The Results
Over 8 months, ACTS achieved:
$9,000+ in total funding secured
3 grants won
75% success rate
$1,000 most recent grant secured
With clear progress over time:
Month 1: $2,000 secured
Month 4: $5,000 secured
Month 8: $9,000+ secured
What Made the Difference
This wasn’t about a single win.
It was about:
Consistency in applications
Improved efficiency over time
Building momentum with each submission
Staying visible and active through consistent social content
With the right system in place, results compounded.
“The social media side — Maggie — that’s a game changer for us. Social moves fast, and you have to leverage it.”
— Stan Jones, ED at ACTS
The Bottom Line
With Vee, ACTS didn’t just win grants.
They built a system that combined:
consistent funding
consistent visibility
Turning effort into ongoing growth and opportunity.
