Enhance Your Chances Of Getting International Project Funding By Using These Strategies

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.

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 approach if you want to boost your chances of being funded. Do your due diligence and find out what the best ways to approach the organization are. Whether it is best to submit your application through mail, email or to approach one of the people in the organization first. Using the right approach will set you a par above the rest.

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.

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.

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.
