Small NGOs in developing countries struggle to identify resources which match up to their capacities and needs. Many large and known funding opportunities pose high-level competition and their eligibility criteria to apply can be so tough that most small NGOs fail to even submit their funding applications.
However, there are a few, little known grant-making foundations that issue grant opportunities from time to time for such small NGOs which are not able to source funding from other sources easily. We have developed a list of such opportunities below:
