Small grants are easier to get! Besides, they are more flexible to handle and can lead to creation of strong partnerships with international donor agencies for long-term growth and sustainability. But the question remains as to where NGOs can identify small grants. We have a developed a list to help them apply for such funding.
We have covered over 15 such foundations that provide small grants to NGOs. However, if you sign up for FundsforNGOs Premium, you can get instant access to thousands of more such donor agencies through our searchable donor database. Learn more here.
There are hundreds of donor agencies that provide small grants to NGOs around the world. In this document, we have picked up 15 such agencies with most of them open to receiving applications from NGOs.

We are a new NGO in South Africa. MEMPROW SA anticipates facilitating continuous peer learning and mentorship for girls and young women as a way of keeping girls in school, reducing gender-based violence & teenage pregnancy, and sustaining gender activism. We seek to provide spaces for girls and young women to learn from each other thereby promoting and protecting their rights within learning institutions and communities. This is envisioned through creating groups of mentors and training young girls in social survival skills that work from a human and gender rights perspective. MEMPROW SA programmes focus on: building capacity, as well as increasing girls’ gender-based awareness, knowledge & analytical skills; increasing girls’ social survival and facilitating their sense of a future. We equip girls and young women with self-knowledge, social intelligence and young women’s leadership. We are running out of the small funding we have and looking funders and ways of fundraising successfully.
