Determine if Your Organization is Eligible to Apply for Grants

Is My Nonprofit Eligible To Apply For Grants?

There's a difference between being eligible to apply and being ready to apply for grants.

Part of Laura's job is to help you understand when you're ready – and when you're eligible – to apply for grants. Your organization may not be eligible for every funding opportunity.

First, your organization needs to be "grant ready." Then, you need to determine your nonprofit's eligibility.
