Specific Instructions for Completing the Friends of Malawi Grant Application

All applications should be typed or legibly handwritten. There are five required parts to an application:

A capsule summary of the proposed project - 150 words maximum.
A completed SMALL GRANT APPLICATION COVER SHEET (link to PDF)
Organization Background Summary (one page only) - Describe your organization and its current programs/activities. You are encouraged (but not required) to include any current brochures, pamphlets, newspaper stories, etc. which describe your organization and/or its programs.
Justification and description of proposed project (two pages or less) - This should be an expanded version of the 150 word capsule summary described above. Describe the project/activity for which you are requesting FOM support, and state a specific amount of funding requested. The following should be included:

(a) a clear statement of the problem and the rationale for the proposed project;
(b) project goals and objectives;
(c) a description of those who will benefit directly or indirectly from the project;
(d) the proposed project activities;
(e) a timetable with beginning and ending dates;
(f) the names and qualifications of persons with primary responsibility for the project.
A completed PROJECT BUDGET WORKSHEET or a descriptive budget covering all the parts of the worksheet.

An application must follow the designated format and all requested information must be included; incomplete applications will be returned for additional information which will greatly delay a decision on funding.

Special note to Peace Corps Volunteers and other development volunteers: It is not necessary to complete those parts of the SMALL GRANT APPLICATION COVER SHEET which relate only to NGO applicants, but be sure the items in the double lined boxes are completed.

Applications can be submitted on-line or sent through the mail to:
