“What would we need in place before a funder said yes?”
What is the Grant Readiness Checker?
Turns grant preparation into a checklist of what exists, what is a draft, and what is currently assumed. Turns grant preparation into an actionable organizational checklist.

- Free, with no account
- Status
- A defined concept or planned pilot that has not launched. The design is written down and nothing has been delivered. Two kinds sit here and the entry itself tells you which: a proposed pilot names its targets, and any target it names is a plan rather than a result; a proposed concept names none because none have been set.
What it does
How it will work.
This describes a tool that does not exist yet. It is proposed, and this is the design rather than a description of something you can open.
- 01
Asks which documents, policies, and budgets exist as finished artifacts
- 02
Separates written from drafted from assumed, because funders can tell the difference
- 03
Checks whether program delivery is described consistently in every place it appears
- 04
Asks how outcomes would be measured and who would report them
- 05
Returns the gap between a proposal's claims and the records that would support them
What you walk away with
Yours, not HxDF's.
Whatever you make with a tool belongs to you. Sending anything to HxDF is always a separate choice.
A checklist marked against your actual state
The items that would block a report rather than an application
An order to close them in
Your data
Runs without an account.
Be clear
What this is not.
Not a grant finder, not a proposal writer, and not a promise that closing the list produces funding.
Where this connects
If you want to go further.
A tool covers part of the ground. An audit covers the rest, with a person, and costs nothing.
