Charity Know How Grants

Charity Know How
Grant Application Deadlines 2001 - 2002

There will be just two Charity Know How (CKH) grants rounds in 2002, with
deadlines of 26 February and 27 August 2002.

Additional Information

After ten years of grant-making, and in the light of the launch of Allavida,
we are currently re-assessing our priorities. We will be involved in
consultations over the next year regarding the future direction of Allavida,
and our priority areas and themes, and hope to create more links between the
various strands of our work - grant-making, capacity building, publications,
information gathering and dissemination. For this reason, we have outlined
below some priorities for the next two grants rounds. There will be just two
Charity Know How (CKH) grants rounds in 2002, with deadlines of 26 February
and 27 August 2002.

The following information should be read in conjunction with the CKH
guidelines already published. In addition to the criteria listed in those
guidelines, we would particularly welcome applications which address the
following:

Innovative projects with new approaches to problems
Cross-border partnerships within the four priority sub-regions listed on
page five of the guidelines (ie. Balkans and Carpathians; Caucasus; Central
Asia; Western CIS).
Partnerships where skills and 'know-how' are transferred from larger, more
experienced NGOs to smaller, grass-roots, community-based organisations,
which would otherwise have limited access to funding. In such cases, we will
accept applications from partners in one country. Please note, however, that
we would not fund projects which are considered to be the core work of
organisations such as NGO support centres or intermediary NGOs.
Partnerships under our 'Global Grants Programme' involving organisations
from two or more of the regions identified (CEE/FSU; Africa; Asia; Latin
America). Beneficiary NGOs should look in particular for partners who can
offer tools, techniques and methodologies which would be difficult to find
within the beneficiaries' own broad region, or who can offer a different
focus or approach to problems.
Sustainable partnerships, which involve a longer-term engagement between the
organisations, rather than a short-term partnership which exists for the
terms of the project only.
