are you grant-ready?
do you have your 501(c)3 status?
When considering eligibility, the first step is to know what type of organization you represent. If you are a nonprofit, filing for your 501(c)3 tax-exempt status is key for applying for most grants.
is your mission clear?
You need to have a clearly defined mission and vision/values statement.
Do you have a board of directors?
Your nonprofit needs defined leaders engaged in the project's movement. Funders like to see the structure and want reassurance that there are key members who all want to see the success of your organization.
Do you have any partnerships?
Partnerships play an essential role in seeking grant funding. If you are a startup and don’t have any committed partnerships you’ve been working with, do you have any potential partners willing to commit to your project?
are you ready for the ride?
The road may not feel easy at times, as it can be very tedious and carry many tasks. Regardless of the amount of time invested, the odds of receiving a grant are still between 10-20% with proper preparation and commitment.
