FAQs
What is an NGO grant?
An NGO grant is a financial contribution given to a non-governmental organization (NGO) by a government agency, foundation, corporation, or individual donor. The purpose of the grant is to support the NGO’s activities and programs that align with the funder’s mission and goals.
How does an NGO grant differ from other types of funding like loans or investments?
An NGO grant differs from loans and investments in that it does not need to be repaid or result in an ownership stake in the organization. Grants are typically awarded based on the merit of the NGO’s proposed project or program, while loans require repayment with interest, and investments involve exchanging funds for equity or ownership in the organization. Grants are also often used to support charitable or social impact initiatives, while loans and investments are more focused on generating financial returns.
