Readiness Checklist for Every Nonprofit Application
Nonprofit Grant Guidelines
Ensure your organization's 501(c)(3) status is current and GuideStar/Candid profile is up to date with recent financial information. • GuideStar, IRS Tax Exempt Organization Search
Confirm that your organization and project meet the funder’s eligibility criteria (mission fit, geography, org type, budget size, deadlines).
Have recent audited or reviewed financials (or most recent financial statements if your organization does not receive audits).
Use clear, jargon-free language that connects emotionally with funders while maintaining professional credibility.
Start with a compelling problem statement backed by credible data, then present your solution and organizational capacity.
Include diversity, equity, and inclusion considerations in program design and organizational practices. Many funders now prioritize DEI.
Plan for reporting and stewardship from the beginning. Successful grants often lead to renewed funding and referrals.
For government grants, ensure any required registrations (e.g., SAM/UEI) are active before you start.
