There are many international NGOs that can support international and local work. Generally, these NGOs work with a number of partners at international, national and local levels. These NGOs channel their funding to partner organisations.
Here are a few simple steps to take:
1. Find out which international NGOs are active in your country and community where your project is located. An international NGO may already have a project in your community.
2. Find out who is responsible for that area/issue that you want funded and make initial contacts with her/him to find out what they support/don’t support/ priority areas and application procedure.
3. Follow-up on step two.
