The webinar video on ‘How to Raise Funds from DFID’ is now available online.
The Department for International Development (DFID) in the United Kingdom is a major source of funds and partnership opportunities for NGOs around the world. DFID offers a significant amount of funding resources for NGOs through grant opportunities and requests for applications. Its funding resources support a wide range of issues areas: education, health, poverty reduction, the environment, water and sanitation.
Despite this, many NGOs often do not apply for funding with DFID because of the complexity and highly competitive nature of the DFID grant system including difficulty in understanding grant guidelines, compilcated instructions and more.
This entry-level webinar will help NGOs identify and apply to DFID request for applications and grant opportunities.
This video covers:
- DFID Geographic Landscape: Geographic priorities, Issue Sectors and Financial Instruments & Eligibility
- How to Participate: Information sources for upcoming calls for proposals
- The Application Process: The Request for Application Process & the Basic overview on developing the Letter of Interest (LOI), Budget and Full Grant Application

It is a very good idea of letting those who have the capacity to view some of the infomation available. But it is also not propoer to like that.
Most of the times when i see browse your website, i come across the word’ PREMIUM MEMBER’, this is a very good thing but bad to some of us who need the information but have no money to afford upto that extent. There are some information which we feel to take part but upto a certain stage, we just hit the wall.
Please help some of us who need the information to help others but have no much resources.
Please put us into consideration.

I am a Co-founder of Mother Mary Charity Organization based in Uganda-East Africa. The organization caters for for orphans attending Universal Primary Education, the program initiated by the Republic of Uganda. The Government only provide School fees and the rest is provided by the Parent/guardian such Meals, Uniform and Scholastic materials. The orphans get it rough by not receiving the school requirments from their guardians hence this guardian who also has more than two biological children to cater for, actually from his small income. Therefore i call upon you to support the Orphans.
Thank You
