Grant-readiness checklist

Work through this before you pursue a grant and you will find the missing records and undecided questions while there is still time to fix them. It is a self-review, not an application.

How to use it

Mark only what you could prove today

If you cannot put your hands on the document today, leave the box empty. Then give each open item a name and a date. Requirements vary by funder, so check the official instructions for any opportunity you actually pursue.

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