The question of eligibility

Are you frustrated in your fundraising efforts, because your proposals get rejected? Do you feel like it is impossible to know and understand what a donor really wants to read in a project proposal?

In this online course about the question of eligibility, we help you to find the perfect donor and opportunity for your project and show you how a donor gives you tips and clues in their guidelines to make your proposal shine out of the pile.

While it seems like common sense that eligibility is important and that NGOs should only apply to opportunities they are eligible for, not paying enough attention to this is actually one of the most common mistakes NGOs make in their fundraising. The donor gives a lot of detailed information about what they want to see in a project proposal in the guidelines, and many NGOs don´t use them in a strategic way to become more successful.
