Assessment Overview
Funding ReadinessAssessment
Is the organisation ready to be discovered, trusted and funded?
The Funding Readiness Assessment evaluates whether an organisation can clearly present who it is, what it needs and how funding will be accounted for. It reflects the questions funders, municipalities and corporate social investment teams ask before committing support.
The result is a clear picture of funding readiness, with practical steps to document development needs, improve discoverability and demonstrate accountability.
