Many smaller NGOs, often grass-roots, with small budgets, have difficulty finding funds for their projects. Their capacity to research donors is limited. They also feel that most donors prefer giving large grants to well-known NGOs. At the same time, thousands of small NGOs around the world are successfully attracting small grants from interested donors. How do they manage this?
This short guide provides answers on funding and successfully applying for small grants.
Although there is no formal definition of a small grant, for the purpose of this guide we will assume small grants to range from $100 to $25,000. We will also assume that small grants are typically earmarked for small local NGOs with limited budgets.
Many small NGOs feel that they are at a great disadvantage when it comes to fundraising compared to large high-capacity NGOs and that few donors give out small grants. Our research indicates that this is not necessarily the case and that donors around the world are providing small grants to NGOs (see below).
What could be some of their reasons?
What do I need funding for? 
Make sure that you clearly develop the program that requires funding. In order to identify a good donor and submit a successful application, you need to be very clear about what it is you are going to implement and what results (impact) the program is going to achieve.
How much do we need?
Also, budget out the program and identify the total resources needed. Can one small grant cover the entire program or do we need several donors to do this? Before we can ask a donor for funding, we need to know for what and how much we are asking.
While it is difficult to find accurate statistics on the number of small versus large grants, a review of US Foundation grants to Tanzanian NGOs is instructive. From some 490 grants given to Tanzanian NGOs since 2003, almost 60% were small grants (8% were under $5,000; 19% under $10,000; 41% under $15,000; and 58% under $25,000). Though only one example shows that many donors are in fact effectively providing small grants to NGOs.
So now we know that donors do give small grants, but how do we find them?

Fundraising is hard! Especially when you have many other things to do, it can be challenging to allocate enough time to find great donors and to prepare a winning proposal! In this free online course, we will share a trick with you that will save you a lot of time! Find 50 great donors in only 10 minutes and move straight to the next stages of your fundraising cycle! Our experienced instructor Erik Detiger will share his insider knowledge with you so that you don´t have to make the same mistakes we all made when we were learning donor research!
This course is totally free of charge, so it is a great way to learn something new and get to know our online courses.
Let´s get started!
Once you have identified a list of potential donors, reach out to them. Email or phone them and request a meeting in person (if they are located in the country/city where you work) or by phone/Skype (if they are located elsewhere). Once you make contact, be sure to ask more about their goals and strategies – what is it they want from an NGO? Next, provide information on your NGO and project, and then propose to send to them a short concept note that outlines a program in which they could be interested.
Send the donor a concept note that summarizes the program and budget. Do not send them a big proposal with annexes unless they have asked for this specifically. Set a date to follow up with this donor. Answer any questions they might have, and ask for feedback.
If the donor is not interested, thank them for reviewing your proposal and indicate you will get back to them in the future. Try again with a revised or different proposal six months or so later. “No” often means – not now – so don’t give up too quickly. If the donor is interested, they will often ask you for a more detailed proposal. Keep your fingers crossed for them to say yes!
The GEF Small grant program was established in 1992, the year of the Rio Earth Summit. The GEF Small Grants Programme is missioned towards sustainable development by “thinking globally acting locally” by providing financial and technical support to projects that conserve and restore the environment while enhancing people’s well-being and livelihoods.

Respect for all life by Albert Schweitzer, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1952. The philosophy is continued by the Dutch Albert Schweitzer Fund (NASF).

Nederlands Albert Schweitzer Fund aims to implement the projects related to healthcare for the improvement of people’s health and healthcare system in Africa.
Destruction of nature has emerged as one of the critical issues in the world. The foundations such as Rufford have an important role in the conservation of nature.

To date, the foundation has granted over 4000 projects around the world. In the past years, it has granted to the projects related to the building various partnership, building schools to cooperation which has been part of policies implementation and procedures that supports in conserving resources.
Research projects are also entertained given that current environmental issues will be undertaken.
Go. Go Love is a privately funded foundation that aims to create a little more love to share through the world, where Injustice and inequality have been critical. We believe that, as long as poverty, injustice & inequality exist in this world, none of us can share the love with each other and move to the path of progress. We need to love all people, our innovation, ideas and passion, our surrounding for a positive change in the world.
We support small to medium non-profit and non-government organizations working in developing countries. We believe, working together is the most valuable tool for community development work. To provide organizations and communities the means to work together in achieving positive changes and improving the overall quality of life is our mission.

Concept Note: Educating girls on Menstrual Health Management (MHM) Organization name Sanitation and Nutrition Organization (SANO) Organization Logo //:0 Contacts P.O.Box 131,Dodoma, Email:sano2021dodoma@yahoo.com, Mobile +255757 812 338 or +255757633283 Vision Statement
A community in which all people achieve their full potential for health and well-being in their life dreams became true.
Mission Statement To work with local governments (LGA); religious institutions; non-governmental organizations; and international stakeholders to improve Water, Sanitation ,Nutrition and Health and make SANO as a favorable Organization for Sanitation and Nutrition in Tanzania
Area of Operation The Organization operate in Tanzania Mainland Registration number ooNGO/R/2378
Sanitation and Nutrition Organization (SANO) is Non –Government Organization whose aim to solve common problems that a community facing and make to achieves their goals or their dreams for better tomorrow as its vision statement.
SANO is a new NGO where now is looking for partnership that can fund to implement the project related with Health for pupils, students and the community.
In many communities throughout the especially in African Countries, the lack of access to menstrual hygiene products due to poverty is a significant barrier to attaining health equity. In Tanzania, girls attend school less when they do not have access to hygiene products during their menses according to information from health Officers and School headmasters it seems that the average of menstrual students missing 35- 42 days of school per year, resulting in a significant gap in their education led to poor performance in their final examination.
Improving access to menstrual hygiene products could therefore have a significant impact on the level of education attainable by girls, therefore enabling them to reach their full potential and their dream became true as our SANO Vision statement.
Reusable menstrual hygiene products are becoming increasingly common throughout the world and may present a viable solution to this problem.
Herewith concept note of Educating of girls on Menstrual Health Management (MHM) we are expecting to give Education for 100 girls on Menstrual Health Management through arts in three school (Mnadani Primary School,Makulu Primary School and Amani Primary schools) and
Challenging MHM stigma and discrimination with their parents, teachers and other community.
Stakeholders in Dodoma.
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this project is to use arts (drawing, poetry and music) to help 100 preadolescent girls from a Gogo tribe in 3 primary schools gain basic knowledge on MHM and address the stigma and taboos surrounding those topics in their community through an advocacy campaign towards their parents, teachers and other community stakeholders
STRATEGY
The project will be implemented in Dodoma for begging, where we have people from the “Gogo” tribe in Dodoma, Menstruation and sex are taboo subjects.
From our experience of over of working with the them many years of work with girls, 5 girls out of 10 have never heard about menstruation when they have their first menses. First menses surprise them; they are ashamed, feel that something is wrong when they see blood for the first time. It’s a humiliating experience, they don’t know what to do/what to use. Some use dirty Papers, old rags. The project is needed to provide information about MHM and to girls (from13years),engage their parents, teachers and other community members to break the stigma around menstruation.
ACTIVITIES
The creation of 3 safe discussions spaces in 3 schools (the girls clubs) where we will use arts to share information and encourage peer to peer discussions among 100 preadolescent girls on MHM during 4 months.
Girls will be able to increase their knowledge and confidence on sexuality, a subject considered taboo in their community.
Working with schools, teachers, parents and local government stakeholders on the education of
girls on MHM will also build grounded knowledge for a change of behaviors to strengthen their contributions to gender equality and advance girls rights. The activities will be as follow:
• Form 3 clubs/3 schools to educate 100 girls on MHM through arts during 4 months. We will facilitate 24 sessions with girls and we will use dance, poems and drawings to pass information on MHM to encourage peer to peer discussions and support girls decision making on MHM.
Budget for MHM facilitation traing and purchasing of reusable sanitary pads.

Greeting from CHARD
We are happy to introduce our Institution which has established its own niche in the realm of development while operating in extreme geographical and weather conditions in southern part of India. The institute’s activities broadly include: environment and climate change; human resources development; health and social development; economic development; and so on. We began in a small way back in the year 1994 and since then, due to our genuine initiatives and hard-work, could able to gain the confidence of local government, provincial and federal government agencies as well as international funding agencies and through their financial assistance we could able to establish a distinct mark in our endeavors. The quality and quantity of financial assistance received from these agencies reflects the confidence of these agencies on our endeavors and belief in abilities of the institution while reaching the needy and targeted development. Well refined thoughts adhering to local circumstances, technical insights on development, dedicated staff and moralities that we follow made us what we are today.
In the context of development and given the geographical, human and environment conditions prevailing in the operational area, the demand for more interventions in the realm of social and economic development, there has been crescendo of demand for more interventions. The Vision and Mission of the institutions also adhere to the principle of promoting local social and economic development on a continuous basis. It’s also a mandate of the institute to meet the local demands and necessities. This makes us work continuously to grasp the needs and ways and means to promote the necessities in our operational area.
This in context, we have come across your esteemed organization with the purpose of seeking your guidance and assistance while attending the task of aged people health protection in our operational area.
With regards

Dear Erik,
Thank you very much for this very useful information. In Uganda such challenges are aggravated by the unfriendly environment that NGOs operate in. New and small organizations are subjected to quite many demands from government which require both financial resources and expertise that they do not have.
I and my sister started a small NGO to help in addressing challenges that women face when they age. There are quite many issues to address in this area given the fact that women face discrimination and exclusion during their childhood, youth and adulthood. These pile up and are manifested /reflected when they age. We start our work in 2019 and because of COVID 19 we got stuck. The two of us funded the first phase which included legalizing the operations of the NGO and popularizing our agenda.
How can we engage you in supporting us to link up with donors who can give us a push. We want someone who can walk with us through developing proposals that can attract funding.
Kindly get back through my e-mail address.
