Imagine this.
A group of passionate young people came together with one goal: to provide educational support for children in underserved communities.
They started with personal contributions, donations from friends, and whatever resources they could gather.
With time, their work began to make a difference.
Then one day, they discovered an international grant opportunity that aligned perfectly with their mission.
The team was excited! ๐
They had the vision.
They understood the problem.
They had a plan for making an impact.
But as they reviewed the application requirements, some important questions came up:
โIs our organisation registered with CAC?โ
โDo we have a proper constitution?โ
โCan we provide the required organisational and financial documents?โ
Suddenly, they realised that having a worthy cause was only part of the journey.

Dear NGO founder, this is something you need to pay attention to.
You can have a powerful vision, a passionate team, and a genuine desire to change lives. But if a grant application requires documents your organisation doesn't have, you may not be eligible to proceed.
And here's what every aspiring NGO founder should understand:

For organisations registered as Incorporated Trustees, the constitution helps set out the organisation's objectives, governance, and operating framework. Some funders may request it as part of their due diligence.

Depending on the grant, funders may request a Tax Identification Number (TIN), financial records, reports, a project proposal, or evidence of previous activities. Always check the specific application requirements.
Imagine finding a grant that aligns perfectly with your mission, only to discover that your organisation isn't yet ready to meet its documentation requirements. Don't wait until an application deadline is approaching before reviewing your organisation's readiness.
