Tips To Help You Win International Project Funding

By Brenda Reed


You may have a very good idea or you may be running a very good cause that is helping the world and a lot of people. However, if you do not have the required finances to support all the activities and things that you want to do, you may soon have to shut down your organization. That is why it is important that you know how to source for funds. Here are some tips that will help to increase your chances of acquiring international project funding.

Make sure that you only approach organizations that provide funding for the niche that you are in. There are probably hundreds of organizations who support the causes that you do. Approaching them will increase your chances of getting an award rather than if you approach organizations that are in a different niche. Therefore, do your research well before you start sending out applications.

Use the right strategies to approach the organization. If you do not use the right approach, you reduce your chances of getting an award. The best way to find out what approach to use is by contacting the organization and asking them what the best way to send in your application is. Some of the things you might want clarified is whether you should apply online or mail them your application and which language you should use in your application.

There are different application formats. Make sure to use the right application and you could just get financing. Most organizations inform applicants what their preferred application format is. If you are asked to submit a preliminary application, do so instead of sending a full application. This could save you a lot of hassle and is better than submitting a full application only to be told that you don't qualify.

Know whether your proposal will be reviewed by a committee or by a single individual. If it will be reviewed by a committee, find out who sits in that committee and use an approach that might appeal to them. Use the right type of jargon and style to write and you will catch the attention of the panel. By checking the website of the donor, you could get some insight as to who might constitute the reviewing panel. This will help you draft a suitable proposal.

Read the rules and guidance notes given on how to apply. If you fail to adhere to any of the rules, you could be disqualified. That is why it is important that you find out what you are required to do and do it.

Ensure that you are eligible for the grant. There is no need for you to apply for a grant that you are not eligible for. If there is something that disqualifies you from being eligible, find ways to correct or address the issue before you send in your application for financing.

Talk to other people who have applied for grants before. The advice that they give you will increase your chances of being awarded. It is especially important that you consult other people who have successfully managed to get financing before. The key is to consult an expert, who knows what they are talking about.
