Friends of Malawi Welcome

 

Grants Overview

 

 

 

 

 

 

..................................................

The primary goal of Friends of Malawi (FOM) is to support programs in Malawi which positively impact Malawians. As part of this mission, FOM awards small grants to development projects throughout the country. All grants must reflect sustainable development  and follow the criteria set by FOM in the application guidelines.

   
  Projects initiated by small- to medium-sized NGOs - especially Malawian-run NGOs or those in which Peace Corps Volunteers are involved - will receive first consideration. Projects originating from within the Malawian Government or managed by the U.S. government will have a lower priority. As a matter of FOM policy, no discretionary grants, loans, or scholarships are ever awarded directly to individuals.
   
  Applications are reviewed on an in-coming basis and awarded based on approval criteria set by the review committee. All applications will be considered; however, some applications may not be funded or revisions may be requested.
 
   
 

Current FOM funding priorities include:

    Health

    HIV/AIDS

    Education

    Environment

    Human Services

    Agriculture

    Small Business Development
