Grant Application Process

CSD geography-based grants follow a three-year recurring cycle, with one portfolio of grants prepared annually for each region. Letters of Inquiry are accepted and reviewed in an open and competitive process, and a limited number of full proposals are then requested based on this review. A typical grant portfolio consists of 10 to 15 grants per Focal Area. Most approved grants receive funding for a three-year period, and grant renewals are evaluated, based on performance, following three years of implementation.
