Why is it important for an NGO proposal to demonstrate a clear understanding of the funder’s values and interests?
Demonstrating a clear understanding of the funder’s values and interests is important because it increases the likelihood of securing funding. By aligning the proposed project with the funder’s priorities, the NGO shows that it is responsive to the funder’s interests and is more likely to be seen as a strategic partner.
How can an NGO demonstrate a clear understanding of the funder’s values and interests in a proposal?
An NGO can demonstrate a clear understanding of the funder’s values and interests by conducting thorough research on the funder’s previous grantmaking activities, mission, and strategic priorities. The proposal should clearly articulate how the proposed project aligns with the funder’s values and interests, and how it contributes to the funder’s overall goals.
