What Nonprofits Should Know About Grants
- 1
Maintain your SAM.gov registration and UEI number — most federal grants require it, and lapsed registrations are the #1 cause of rejected applications.
- 2
Build a grant readiness toolkit: audited financials, board list, organizational chart, and 2–3 boilerplate capability statements ready to attach.
- 3
Start with smaller foundation grants ($5K–$25K) to build a track record before pursuing large federal awards. Funders want to see you can manage money well.
