FCRA PROJECT: GRANTS FROM GLOBAL FUND FOR CHILDREN

Deadline: 31.10.2014

The Global Fund for Children invests in grassroots organizations that enable the most vulnerable children in their communities to thrive. Their strategic support helps grantees achieve their vision, become sustainable, and reach even more children in need. Prospective grantee partners must meet the following eligibility criteria to be considered for our support. With rare exceptions, a prospective grantee partner's annual budget should not exceed $200,000. In most cases, new grantee partners have budgets in the $25,000 to $75,000 range. Global Funds aim is to identify organizations at a relatively early stage in their development. Prospective grantee partners must work directly with children and youth. The GFC does not support groups engaged exclusively in advocacy or research. (They do, however, support organizations that perform both advocacy and direct service.) Prospective grantee partners must have systems and processes for ensuring responsible management of funds. At a minimum, an organization must have basic accounting and reporting systems as well as phone and email access. Prospective grantee partners must be led by individuals who live and work in the community. GFC prioritizes organizations whose leaders were born and raised in the community. They do not fund the local offices or affiliates of national or international organizations. A prospective grantee partner must be registered with the local or national government as a nonprofit organization. If the political context makes legal registration unfeasible, the organization must demonstrate nonprofit equivalency. They do not provide start-up funding for the creation of new organizations. Initial approach is by online Letter of Inquiry.
