Grant-readiness checklist

Use this self-review to identify missing records, decisions, and capacity before pursuing a grant. It is an educational tool, not an eligibility determination or guarantee of funding.

How to use it

Review honestly. Assign owners. Close the gaps.

Mark items your organization can document today. Leave uncertain items open, assign a responsible person, and identify the date or decision needed. Requirements vary by funder, so always confirm the official opportunity instructions.

1. Governance and legal standing
2. Financial readiness
3. Project clarity
4. Delivery and reporting capacity
5. Opportunity fit
