Global Affairs Canada Funding through an Unsolicited Proposal : To apply for funding through an unsolicited proposal, it is important to ensure that your project idea aligns with Global Affairs Canada’s priorities. Keep in mind that there are many more needs and requests for support than any one donor can fund, so funding is only provided to select initiatives that strongly align with Canada’s Feminist International Assistance Policy and program priorities.
Before you decide to apply, it is crucial to understand the 2-step process involved in the unsolicited proposal funding mechanism. The first step is the submission of a concept note. If the concept note is of interest to Global Affairs Canada (GAC), you will be invited to submit a full proposal. It is important to review the full proposal form to understand the level of detail you will need to provide if you are invited to submit a full proposal. However, do not use the full proposal form for your concept note.
Before proceeding, it is advisable to review the general terms and conditions of the contribution agreement. It is essential that your organization understands and has the capacity to respect these terms if funding is provided. Additionally, verify the legal status of your organization, as funding can only be provided to legal entities. Canadian organizations must also have a Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) number.
