Grant readiness is often something a grant professional is asssessing using their gut feeling based on experience as well as tools like checklists they have developed over time. Yet often that gut feeling or the passive checklists are discounted or looked past by organizational leaders pushing for an increase in grant revenue.
Diane has spent the past eight years analyzing data from nonprofit organizations submitted through the GRASP Tool. Through this research, she has learned common areas of weakness and strength in organizations as well as delved deeper into specific case studies to look at tactics to make organizations stronger.
In this session, Diane will share with you:
- What makes an organization “grant ready;”
- What GRASP grant readiness scores indicate;
- What are the common grant readiness strengths and weaknesses of grantseeking organizations;
- How to judge your organization’s grant readiness for a specific grant opportunity; and
- Tools that will assist you in managing and improving your overall grant readiness.
