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 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.

Only apply for suitable grants. Some grants might not be quite suitable for you, so there is no need to waste time applying for them. Always first check if you quality for a grant before you apply to it. This will save you a lot of time and hassle that would have been spent applying for the wrong grant.

Consult other people before sending in your application. This is especially people who are familiar with the process of applying for financing. They can mentor you through the whole process. This will help you to avoid mistakes that may prevent you from getting an award. Consult as many people as possible, more so, individuals who have applied for such financing before and won.
