The Sustainability Plan: Resource Guide [eBook]

Proposals forNGOs — Tue, 22 Jun 2021 07:58:00 +0000

Sustainability has become a buzzword in the field of philanthropy. More and more donors and organizations put a lot of emphasis on this topic. When talking about sustainability in general, most people only think of environmental sustainability. This concept deals with environmental issues like climate change, depletion of soils, air pollution, etc. In most calls for proposals, the donor asks for a sustainability plan though that entails much more and is focused on the sustainability of the project itself. Many NGOs see this more as an afterthought than a prime concern, but the sustainability plan is actually very important.

The Ultimate Eligibility Checklist: 8 Steps to Find If a Donor is Your Perfect Match

Priti Thapa — Mon, 05 Aug 2019 09:13:10 +0000

Eligibility in the context of a project proposal basically means if you or your organization meet their necessary criteria to receive the grant. This refers to form of organization, legal status, country of registration and age of organization amongst others. Some calls for applications only apply for organizations that already have a couple of years of experience, others only to NGOs or charities, some are open for individuals.

It is very simple – if you write a proposal for an opportunity that you are not eligible for, you are wasting time. Not only your own time, but the time of the donor as well. Many NGOs seem to think that they can sway a donor with a good project, but if you are not eligible, the evaluation committee will not even take a look at your proposal. Make sure you know from the beginning if you can apply or not, and when not, move on.

The Ultimate Checklist for Proposal Writing (FREE)

Alta Alonzi — Wed, 08 Aug 2018 04:15:51 +0000

A proposal is a structured document with which an NGO puts forward a specific project to a donor for funding consideration. Writing proposals for funding is one of the most crucial aspects of any NGO. No matter how big or small your organization is you cannot get away from writing a project proposal. As an NGO staff, you might be aware that the primary purpose of a project proposal is to convince the donor agency to fund your project.

It is thus important for you to write a proposal that is innovative, practical, and methodological. Your proposal should look at solving an important development issue and at the same time should be appealing to the donor. There is no single format for all proposals because different donors have different formats and requirements. However, there are some components that should be included in every proposal.

We’ve prepared this ‘Ultimate Checklist for Proposal Writing’ to get you through the process as smoothly as possible and improve your grant application.
