Funding readiness is a proxy for delivery risk
When funders talk about 'readiness', they're really asking whether you can deliver what you promise and evidence the impact afterwards. It's a risk assessment, not a formality.
What funding readiness actually means (and why funders care)
Funding readiness isn't a certificate — it's the everyday practices that give funders confidence in your organisation.
The twelve categories funders assess
Serin's Funding Readiness Assessment scores across twelve categories: governance, policies, safeguarding, financial management, evidence collection, impact measurement, funding strategy, board strength, operational capacity, reporting systems, digital readiness and AI readiness.
