Grant-Readiness Scorecard
Could you file a federal application next month? Twenty yes-or-no questions give you a score out of 20 and a list of what to fix first. It takes about ten minutes.
Who it’s for
For towns, cities, counties, school districts and nonprofits planning a federal grant application. Every “not yet” is a step to take before your next deadline.
What’s inside
- Twenty yes-or-no questions in four sections: registrations, finding and reading the opportunity, building the package, and submitting
- A score out of 20 and what it means: 17 to 20 is ready to file; below 12, start with your registrations
- A gap list: what to do for each “not yet”, from renewing SAM.gov to submitting 24 to 48 hours early
- What one federal application takes: 40 to 60 pages and about 116 hours (von Hippel & von Hippel, PLOS ONE 2015)
Free to copy and share. The Grants.gov and SAM.gov steps follow our guide How to submit a grant on Grants.gov.
