Tips To Help You Win International Project Funding

By Brenda Reed


Running a cause often takes a lot of time, energy and money. If you do not know where the money you are going to use will come from, you might easily have to fold up your program and leave the field. But this doesn't have to be the case. With the right strategies, you can be able to find donors and increase your chances of getting international project funding. Here are some tips that you can use.

Find donors who are willing to support people in the niche that you are in. Since you share the same core objectives, they are more likely to view your application more favorably than the application of other people who are not within the same niche. Therefore, do your research first and find out which areas an organization specializes in giving in before you support them.

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 types of application. It is important that you use the right application that is acceptable to the organization. For example, there is a preliminary application, full funding application and outline application. This is mainly done to ensure that only acceptable causes make it up to the final stages of the application, so there is no need to submit a full application at first unless you have been specifically asked to. This will save you a lot of time.

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.

You have to familiarize yourself with all the rules and regulations of applying for the proposal. This will ensure that you fulfill all the required guidelines. Failure to fulfill the guidelines could result in you getting disqualified from being considered. Even if you need extra time to make sure that you meet the requirements, make sure to use it instead of being in a hurry to submit your application and failing to secure financing.

Make sure that you qualify to apply for the grant. There is no need of applying for grants that you are not qualified for as you will not get funding. Only concentrate on getting financing in areas where there are high chances of you getting funded.

Ask for advice, especially if it is your first time to send out applications. Talk to industry experts, read widely and spend time with other people who have undergone the same process. This will help you learn what the do's and don'ts are. If possible, ask advice from someone who has successfully applied for the same grant that you want to apply to.
