The Funder's Checklist: Get Grant Ready in 5 Steps

Strong financial management is one of the most powerful tools a nonprofit has to win grant funding, and yet it's often the most overlooked aspect of grant readiness. Every funder has a different application process, but the organizations that win grants consistently aren't the ones who chase every formula. They're the ones who show up ready.   In this webinar, Jackie McLaughlin, CPA, draws on 18+ years of nonprofit financial expertise to walk you through 5 essential steps you can take within your organization to build the financial credibility funders are looking for, no matter where you apply. You'll leave with a concrete checklist to assess your grant readiness right now, so you can approach your next application with clarity and confidence. 

Participants will gain a funder's perspective on how program officers evaluate financial credibility alongside program design when reviewing grant applications. Participants will walk away with a concrete 5-step checklist to assess their organization's grant readiness and approach future applications with clarity and confidence. Participants will build enough financial literacy to read key financial statements, govern like a fiduciary, and present their organization as a credible, low-risk grant recipient.
