Type of project: The Foundation’s Open Door grantmaking provides CSOs with one of the very few opportunities to be proactive in identifying and addressing local needs, developing fresh solutions and ideas to existing challenges. Open Door grantmaking allows the Foundation to receive a wide variety of unsolicited proposals on a continual basis. It has proven to be an effective means to support new and innovative pilot projects, or projects with time-sensitive needs, provided that they envision achievement of lasting positive changes through participatory civic monitoring and advocacy actions. Over the years, Open Door grant projects supported by the Foundation have successfully promoted good governance and civic engagement, while at the same time contributing to institutional strengthening of the grantee organizations. Applicants are advised to submit an Inquiry Form without additional documents to ensure you do not spend significant time and resources preparing a full application.
