Application Processes

The application process provides an opportunity for funders not only to receive information from applicants, but also to set expectations, forge relationships, provide feedback, and, for some funders, to help strengthen applicants’ organisations or programmes. The following section shows applicant feedback related to the application/selection process as
well as the time spent by applicants fulfilling application requirements.
