Voices from Our Kentucky Community

Entirely new to the world of grants, I found the workshop incredibly valuable. Melissa laid a strong foundation by clearly explaining the steps, strategies, and tools necessary to succeed in grant writing.

- Bill Lewis | Executive Director, Carroll County Community Development Corporation

This was one of the most practical and well-paced trainings I’ve attended about the grant writing process.

- Audrey Harper | Executive Director, Green River Regional Educational Cooperative

Every session gave me practical tools I could take back to my team. They helped us prioritize what really mattered. We took everything and implemented everything that Grant Ready Kentucky suggested, and we were awarded this time. I really do owe all the credit to Grant Ready Kentucky, because they’re the experts, they are in this field, this is what they do.

- Ashley Miller | Executive Director, Lifeline Recovery Center

Are You Grant Ready? Take Our Assessment

Understanding where you stand is the first step toward grant success. Our comprehensive Grant Ready Assessment (coming soon) is designed to help you evaluate your organization's current preparedness across the critical areas that matter most to funders.

Here's what you'll explore:

Organizational Capacity

Assess your team's skills, available resources, and internal systems to determine if you have the foundation needed to manage grants effectively from application through completion

Project Development

Examine how well-defined your projects are, whether you have clear goals and measurable outcomes, and if your initiatives align with typical funder priorities

Financial Readiness

Review your financial management systems, budgeting capabilities, and ability to track and report on grant funds—essential elements that funders scrutinize closely

Strategic Positioning

Evaluate your organization's mission alignment, community partnerships, and competitive advantages that make you an attractive candidate for funding

Application Readiness

Assess your experience with grant applications, documentation systems, and ability to meet the complex requirements that come with most funding opportunities

Grant Readiness Score

Upon completion, you'll receive a Grant Readiness Score that shows where you're ready and which areas need work, helping you focus your efforts where they'll have the most impact. From there, you can book a call with one of our expert coaches to discuss the next steps for your organization's grant journey

We're putting the finishing touches on our Grant Readiness Assessment. Want to be first to know when it launches? Join our notification list below.
