The 2026 Grant-Ready Nonprofit SprintA 2-Hour Online Intensive to Turn Scattered Grant Chasing into a Clear, Funder-Ready RoadmapDate: Tuesday, March 17, 2026Format: Live on Zoom (+ replay)Registration closes: Tuesday, March 10, 2026If your current grant strategy is “apply for anything big and hope for the best”… this sprint is for you.You’re doing important work. But when it comes to grants, you might feel: Tired of random, low-odds applications that eat time and energy Unsure why funders keep saying no (is it the idea, the writing, or the fit?) Overwhelmed by deadlines, portals, attachments, and follow-up Frustrated that your programs are strong, but your proposals feel scattered or flat Worried your board and team expect funding “soon” but there’s no real roadmap behind it You don’t need more generic “grant writing tips.”You need a clear, funder-ready strategy for 2026.That’s exactly what we’ll build together in The 2026 Grant-Ready Nonprofit Sprint.What This Intensive IsThis is a 2-hour working session, not just a webinar.You’ll spend the time: Seeing your nonprofit through funder eyes Getting honest (in a constructive way) about your grant readiness Choosing your top 2–3 funding priority programs (no more trying to fund everything at once) Building a simple, realistic grant roadmap for the next 6–12 months Identifying which funders to focus on first Setting up a basic grant tracking system so you always know where things stand By the end, you’ll have a 2026 grant plan on paper, not just in your head.Who This Is ForThis training is designed for: Nonprofit founders & executive directors Grant writers & development officers Program and M&E leads who support grant proposals Faith-based & community organizations getting serious about external funding in 2026 Small and mid-sized organizations ready to move from reactive grant chasing to strategic funding If you’ve ever said:“We know we need grants… but our approach feels random.”…then this is for you.What You’ll Walk Away With (In Just 2 Hours)By the end of this intensive, you will have:✅ A 5-Dimension Grant-Ready ScorecardYou’ll score your organization from 1–5 across five dimensions funders care about: Program Clarity – Can a stranger quickly grasp what you do? Data & Evidence – Do you show change, not just activity? Organizational Risk – How safe do you look as a partner? Prospect Fit – Are you going after the right funders? Capacity to Deliver – Can you deliver what you promise without chaos? You’ll leave with: A score for each dimension A total out of 25 And 1–2 priority areas to strengthen over the next 90 days ✅ Your Top 2–3 Funding Priority ProgramsNot every program should be a grant priority.We’ll work through how to choose 2–3 flagship programs for 2026 using: Mission fit – Is it central to who you are? Demand / need – Is there clear community demand? Readiness – Is this program ready (or almost ready) for funders? You’ll stop trying to fund everything at once and focus on the programs that are most fundable right now.✅ A 6–12 Month Grant RoadmapWe’ll sketch a simple Grant Roadmap for the next 6–12 months using four phases: Prospect – Find and research aligned funders Build Relationships – Warm up, introduce your work Write & Submit – Plan realistic proposal work Report & Steward – Treat current funders like future funders You’ll leave knowing:“Here’s what we’re focusing on each period,and here’s when we’ll work on our weak spots.”✅ A Top 10 Funder ShortlistNo more “any funder, anywhere.”You’ll start building a curated Top 10 Funder Shortlist that matches your: Issue area Geography Population Realistic grant size Values and expectations You’ll also: Identify your Top 3 priority funders Choose next actions for each (research, outreach, concept note, etc.) So instead of “we’re looking for funding,” you’ll say:“These are the 10 funders we’re focusing on first, and here’s what we’re doing with each one.”✅ A Simple Grant Tracking SystemYou’ll get the structure for a one-page grant tracker you can manage in about 20 minutes a week.We’ll walk through a simple layout with columns like: Funder name Type (foundation, corporate, government, etc.) Program Amount (target/awarded) Stage (Research / Warm-Up / Drafting / Submitted / Awarded / Declined / Reporting) Deadline / key date Status notes Next action + due date You’ll leave with a system that lets you calmly answer:“Here’s where every grant stands right now.”✅ A 30-Day Action PlanWe’ll end by turning everything into a 4-week action plan: Week 1: Finalize Scorecard + Top 2–3 programs Week 2: Fix 1–2 “red flag” gaps (data, risk, or capacity) Week 3: Build your Top 10 Funder Shortlist + set up your tracker Week 4: Take 2–3 real actions with funders (contacts or submissions) You’ll leave with a clear answer to:“What exactly should we do in the next 30 days?”What’s Included – General AccessWith your General ticket, you get: ✅ Live 2-Hour Workshop (via Zoom) ✅ Grant-Ready Scorecard template (printable + digital) ✅ Roadmap worksheet to map your next 6–12 months ✅ Top 10 Funder Shortlist template ✅ Grant Tracker structure (Google Sheet / Excel layout) ✅ 30-Day Action Plan checklist ✅ Replay access (limited time) ✅ Participant packet PDF with the key slides and frameworks VIP Experience – For Extra Support & ImplementationWant more than “great session, now I’m on my own”?The VIP level is for you if you want extra eyes and support on how you apply this to your real situation.With VIP, you get everything in General, plus: Bonus 60-minute Group Implementation Clinic (within 10–14 days of the workshop)→ Bring your completed Scorecard, Roadmap, and Funder Shortlist. → Get feedback from Queen on: Your chosen flagship programs Your Top 10 funders Your first 30–90 days of actions Grant-Ready Snapshot Review Template→ A plug-and-play format to share your grant readiness snapshot with your board/leadership so they understand what’s needed and stop expecting “miracle money” without infrastructure.
