Proposing a project

Do you need support for a development project?

The 1% for Development Fund provides financial support to non-governmental organisations (NGOs) implementing development projects for the benefit of communities in developing countries as well as local NGOs made up of the direct beneficiaries of such projects. If you represent one of these two types of NGOs, you can contact the 1% Fund for financial support.

For this purpose, first please fill in the form below in full. Within 4 weeks a Fund representative will get in touch with an answer about whether your project fulfils our criteria and can be considered for funding by the 1% Fund. If this is the case, you will receive our funding procedures as well as a questionnaire that you will need to fill out and send to the 1% Fund. As a reminder, the Fund is run exclusively by volunteers.

Thank you for providing information about your NGO and your project to the 1% for Development Fund. We aim to contact you within four weeks for the next steps. As we are 100% run by volunteers, delays may happen.

Also, do not send us additional information unless requested by the 1% Fund.
