FAQs
What are long-term goals in the context of grant funding?
Long-term goals in the context of grant funding refer to the overarching objectives and outcomes that an organization or project aims to achieve over an extended period of time, typically spanning several years. These goals often involve sustainable impact, capacity building, and systemic change.
How can grant funding support long-term goals?
Grant funding can support long-term goals by providing financial resources, technical assistance, and capacity building opportunities to organizations and projects. This support can enable the implementation of sustainable programs, the development of long-lasting partnerships, and the establishment of systems for ongoing impact measurement and evaluation.
What are the risks of short-term grants?
Short-term grants carry the risk of providing only temporary relief or support, without addressing the underlying systemic issues or long-term sustainability of the funded activities. Additionally, short-term grants may create dependency on external funding, leading to challenges in securing future resources and sustaining the impact of the funded initiatives.
