As usual, before we embark upon writing a grant proposal, we need to understand the grant-making agency. The foremost question that comes to one’s mind is:
Will NED support my organization?
The answer lies in the issue/s you are working on. Is your organization in an activist mode working and has experience in the areas of human rights, independent media, the rule of law and/or other democratic values.
