Before you even begin to search for grants, you’ll need to make sure your organization is grant-ready. So what does ‘grant-ready’ mean? Simply having an idea that you want to fund does not<\/strong> mean that you are ready to apply for grants. In fact, you should check off the list below before you even consider searching for grant funding opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are you grant-ready? You should already have the following:<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\n\n
  1. A live website (not a parked domain)<\/li>
  2. DUNS<\/a> number <\/li>
  3. Employer\/Tax Identification Number (EIN<\/a>)<\/li>
  4. 501(c)3<\/a> status letter and start date for nonprofit status<\/li>
  5. Bylaws and other governing documents <\/li>
  6. Diverse Board of Directors<\/li>
  7. The annual budget for the organization<\/li>
  8. Business plan for the organization<\/li>
  9. Organization mission and goals, population served<\/li>
  10. Organizational history & measured outcomes in impact on your community<\/li>
  11. The organizational chart and description of management structure, size of staff, number of volunteers<\/li>
  12. Tax and financial data (for example, the most recent annual and quarterly financial\/audit statements)<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
    The Next Step <\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

    Are you missing something from this list? Start working on the things you need to do to become a grant-ready organization. It may require some time and effort, but this is usually similar to what the grant funders will also require from you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Do you have all the items listed above? If so, congratulations! You can consider your organization to be grant-ready and move forward to the next step of searching for grants. Being grant-ready is one thing, but knowing if you’re eligible for grants<\/a> is another. It is important to ensure you meet the eligibility criteria to avoid disappointment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    When it comes to writing grants, there are 20 crucial tips <\/a>when writing your grant application. One of the most important tips to remember is that grant reviewers look for proof<\/a> rather than good intentions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
