Application Process

Please read each step of our application process carefully

1
Step One
You are invited to fill in the online form (available during the Call for Proposals period) to tell us about your organization and the project you wish to be funded.

Step Two
Once you have submitted your application form, a member of our team will contact you. We will let you know if we believe your organization or project is a good fit with our mission, or if you have not been selected to move to the next stage. In the event of a positive response, our team will then undergo a due diligence process that can take up to four months. A meeting will be scheduled in person or virtually.

Step Three
If you proceed to the next step, you will be invited to create a profile in our online portal (Grant Resources) and submit a formal grant application.

Step Four
Grant applications are formally assessed by our grant management team before being brought to our board of directors for approval. Once this process is completed, you will receive an email indicating the outcome of our selection process as well as a formal letter from our team.
