The Real Question
YOU MAY NOT HAVE A FUNDING PROBLEM.
YOU MAY HAVE A FUNDABILITY PROBLEM.
When money is needed, most organizations immediately begin searching for:
- Grants
- Sponsors
- Donors
- Corporate funding
- Government opportunities
- Loans
- Investors
- Partnerships
But before pursuing funding, leaders must ask:Is our organization prepared for the opportunity?
Fundability is broader than any single application. It includes:
- Leadership
- Governance
- Financial readiness
- Organizational systems
- Impact evidence
- Credibility
- Relationships
- Sustainability
- Strategic preparation
