Becoming an Egmont Partner
Egmont believes that locally driven organisations, already committed to alleviating the effects of HIV & AIDS, know what projects and initiatives will work best in their local context and deliver results for the communities they support.
For more information about Egmont's Approach click the button below.
We understand that simple access to finance has been the single biggest challenge facing the many, outstanding civil society organisations working to alleviate the impact of HIV & AIDS. Egmont aims to bridge that gap and provide financial support and project management advice to local, grassroots organisations operating in Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
We are always looking for new Partners with innovative ways of achieving impact in these areas. So if you are such an organisation and would like to work with us, please send us an Expression of Interest (EOI) using the form below.
Please take note of the eligibility criteria and guidance before completing the form.
Eligibility Criteria & Guidance
Egmont offers new Partners funding for an Innovation Project. An Innovation Project lasts one-year and is supported with a grant of up to $20,000.
Egmont funds organisations registered and operating in Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Tanzania, Zambia & Zimbabwe. Egmont does not fund projects taking place outside these countries.
Egmont does not accept applications from fundraising organisations that support projects operating in these six countries.
Egmont funds non-governmental organisations that are registered in one of the six countries above.
Egmont is not prescriptive in the types of activities we fund. We know that the most effective responses to the HIV & AIDS epidemic are those that are developed within the communities most affected.
Egmont has funded many varied projects, all conceived and delivered by our local Partners. We value this diversity and recognise it as a strength, providing grassroots organisations with the means to develop their own effective approaches. As such, it is up to you to demonstrate the validity of your approach and the effectiveness of your activities to date.
You should briefly outline what your organisation has already achieved and how Egmont funding will enable you to scale up your activities, reach and impact.
Once you have submitted your Expression of Interest, Egmont will contact you if you have been successful. This process should take 4 - 6 months. We receive many Expressions of Interest throughout the year and are not able to contact every organisation that is unsuccessful at this stage.
If you do not hear from Egmont after submitting your Expression of Interest, please do not submit another Expression of Interest for at least 12 months.
Application Timeline
Expression of Interest
Once you have submitted your Expression of Interest form below, it will be checked and assessed by Egmont's Programme Team. We may make contact with you to understand the information provided in more depth.
Short List
If these provisional assessments are positive you will be added to the short list of potential partners and invited to submit a project proposal. We are not able to contact all organisations that do not proceed to this stage.
Proposal
Twice or three times a year we invite short-listed organisations to submit proposals for a one-year project. Proposal guidelines are provided and applications should demonstrate rigour and clear frameworks for acheiving positive results.
Final Decision
These proposals are rigorously assessed and grants are offered to those who are successful. Organisations on the short-list whose proposals are not successful are provided with explanations for the rejection. Following this feedback, you may be re-invited in subsequent calls for proposals.
