YOUR REAL ODDS

FCF receives several applications per quarterly cycle and cannot respond to every enquiry, so competition is real.

The process is multi-step and relationship-driven: FCF contacts you only if they think your project is a good fit and they can find a donor for it, so there's no guarantee of a response even if you're eligible.

WHAT IT TAKES

  1. Read eligibility criteria in your language and confirm your project qualifies — 1–2 hours

  2. Submit the Applicant Enquiry Form and wait for FCF to contact you — Ongoing — FCF reviews database regularly

  3. Work with FCF Secretariat to prepare application documents if invited — Varies by project

  4. Application reviewed by the Grants Committee at its next quarterly meeting — Up to 3 months

WORTH KNOWING

FCF explicitly says they are working to be more flexible around country and local contexts, so they encourage applicants who are unsure about eligibility to still reach out — don't self-reject before submitting the enquiry form.
