Have you heard about the record-breaking grants and significant support of the Gulf Donors? Their announcements have been making the headlines and the amounts of money involved have caught the attention of many NGO practitioners and social enterprises.
But, like so many colleagues all over the world, you are likely wondering who they really are, how they work, what the risks involved in working with them are, and most importantly—would your organization likely ever be able to get a grant from them. They do not operate in the same ways as many of the traditional, public sector donors, and finding information about them is often difficult.
While the potential rewards are high, the time and effort involved in getting their attention and making a successful application to them are significant. Many NGOs and social enterprises have simply given up trying. In this course, we will be sharing some of the knowledge we have gained with helping clients to access funding from these donors and provide you with some effective strategies for making your organization an attractive grant applicant.
