Minor Foundation for Major Challenges Grant – Unifor Online Portal Submitting an application through the Unifor online portal involves several steps. Before you begin, it’s crucial to ensure that you’re applying as an organization rather than an individual. Additionally, confirm that your project aligns with the objectives and funding strategy of the portal. Understanding the requirements for eligible projects will help streamline your application process.
Requesting Access and Preparing Your Application
To submit an application, you need to request access to the Unifor portal. Remember, the registration process may take some time, so plan accordingly. After you have registered with Unifor, you will need to complete an online form detailing:
- Your organization’s name
- Project timeline
- Funding amount requested
- Project objectives and impact
- Project budget
- Bank account details for fund transfer
You may also upload letters of support if you wish. Once your application is submitted, it typically takes 2-4 weeks for a decision to be made after the submission deadline.
Small Grants vs. Larger Grants
Applications for grants up to €10,000 require a single pitch summarizing your project. If your pitch is approved, you will receive the funding. For larger grants exceeding €10,000, a two-stage application process is required. First, you must submit a short pitch for the board to review. If the pitch is accepted, you will be invited to submit a full application, which must include:
- A detailed project description with timeline and deliverables
- A comprehensive budget
- Details about key personnel
- Letters of recommendation
A full list of required content will be provided in the invitation.
