Funding
Seeking funding is time consuming and if possible is best done as part of a team, with a team leader, who can delegate tasks to the other members.
However, whether you are running a project by yourself or as part of a team, the first step is to establish with your partners what it is that you want to do and how much money you are likely to need to achieve your objectives.
The following is intended to provide you with a short summary of the key considerations as you begin to think about the funding required to support your global health work.
Writing your Fund Proposal
The next step is to write a funding proposal. This will allow you to clearly outline the aims and objectives of your project in detail with your partners. The Funding Proposal should include:
- Background
- Rationale – why this project is needed
- Aims and objectives of this project within the wider landscape
- What activities you will do in what time period?
- What results do you hope to achieve at the end of the project?
- Your time scale and budget
- How will you know you have achieved your goals or what is your monitoring and evaluation plan?
- What is the plan regarding sustainability, how will the work continue at the end of the project?
There are lots of guides and training available to help you with writing your funding proposal, here is a great place to start – Proposals for NGOs.
