This tool helps you assess whether your business is truly ready to apply for grants—before you invest time, energy, or credibility.
The Grant Readiness Tool is designed to help small business owners and nonprofit leaders evaluate their current infrastructure, documentation, and capacity against common funder expectations.
Use this tool to:
-
Identify gaps that may disqualify you from grant opportunities
-
Understand what funders typically look for beyond the application
-
Clarify next steps to strengthen your business or organization before applying
This resource is ideal for businesses that are exploring grant funding and want to approach the process strategically—not reactively. For best results, pair this tool with a business plan, financial review, or strategy session.
