Should your organization be applying for grants? Are you grant ready? What does grant ready mean anyway? This session examines the readiness of organizations for grant revenue starting at the top with the board, then it examines the readiness of staff for grant implementation, the vision and comprehensiveness of each program, how well programs are evaluated, how prepared organizations are for program and financial reporting, and basic financial and attachment requirements. The presentation will not only provide basic information for organizations who are new to grants, but will also provide information to growing organizations who are trying to increase their capacity to handle larger grants from national foundations or the federal government.
What You’ll Learn:
- How to engage and educate your board in grant readiness.

- Basic information your organization should track as you increase grant readiness.
- Building the capacity of and getting feedback/input from program staff to increase grant readiness.
