How to Apply

 

Application Procedure

Please read carefully the How to Apply section before you fill in the following form and send it back to us, preferably by email, at contact@trafigurafoundation.com along with:

  • A short summary of your project (2 to 4 pages max. + one-page summary budget, including the foreseen income structure);
  • A cover letter explaining why you are calling on the Foundation's financial support and how you think the project can connect with our office people;
  • The statutes of your organization.

At this stage, you do not need to send us a comprehensive proposal; if your project stirs interest from the Foundation, we will then indeed ask you for more detailed information and documents in due time.

Please note that all documents and correspondence must be in English.

 

Selection Process

All projects proposals submitted for funding to the Foundation are first screened by the executive team, who checks their validity and relevance, and then formally reviewed by the Foundation Board. The Board makes it selection based upon an analysis of the proposal against our criteria and our current priorities. These priorities can either be geographical or thematic.

The Board meets usually four times a year. The next meeting is scheduled on 4 October 2010.

All application files must be received at least 4 weeks before a Board Meeting.
The current deadline is 31 August 2010.

Applications received after the deadline will only be reviewed at the following Board Meeting.
