About this guide
Finding funders is only half the job. The real skill is deciding which ones deserve your time. This fillable worksheet gives you a simple, objective way to rate every grant prospect on five factors: mission alignment, geographic fit, project type, financial capacity, and application feasibility.
Add up the scores to get a total from 5 to 25, then sort prospects into high, medium, and low priority. The worksheet also walks you through common red flags and a quick return on investment check, so you can defend your choices to leadership with real numbers.
