 Dear friends,
For the third consecutive year, for the Vincentian Family systemic change initiative an American foundation is once more offering a grant for 2010 to fund projects aimed at breaking the circle of poverty. The grant has been increased exceptionally to 150,000$. The total sum will probably be shared among several projects.
Criteria for Giving the Start-Up Grants:
The chosen projects will:
– Involve the poor themselves at the various stages of the project, particularly emphasising self-sufficiency and the self-supporting nature of the project
– Have a global view of a number of basic human needs, spiritual, personal, social and physical, especially employment, healthcare, housing, education and spiritual growth.
– Promote transparency, inviting participation in preparation of budgets and commenting on financial statements, while encouraging good financial management and careful control over the use of assets
– Build a shared vision with the various stakeholders: poor communities, interested parties, donors, churches, governments, NGOs, the private sector, unions, media, international organisations and networks
– Ideally involve several branches of the Vincentian Family
Grants will not be distributed for:
– Projects whose aim is the immediate relief of poverty
– Construction, extension or renovation of buildings
– Imprecise projects, which do not give enough details on the group of people to be assisted
– Covering on-going costs for projects already underway
– Projects that do not comply with the format for responses suggested by the Vincentian Family Commission
You will find more information and eligibility criteria in the following document.
For any question or help in preparing requests, please contact Marina Kadner Ricci: marina.kadner@ozanet.org .
Requests must be submitted by the International Council General.
They must reach us by e-mail by August, Friday 13at the latest 2010. Projects must be written in English. CGI can help with translation if necessary. Please tell us in advance if you intend to submit a project.
Wishing you every success in presenting your projects,
Cordially yours,
José Ramón Díaz-Torremocha
