GRANTS
Part of helping organizations to Prepare for Greatness™ , is finding ways to help them get started on the path to accreditation. One way is to explore grant opportunities that may help defer the costs associated with obtaining accreditation. There are quite a few grant offerings that can be found via internet research. While you may not see grants specific to accreditation, many grants will cover some aspects of accreditation and/or fund ways to improve your service programs, such as:
- Technology and equipment
- Strategic planning
- Quality Management
- Outcome Measurement
- “Capacity building”
- Board development
