Over the years, AFRI has witnessed the refusal by foundations to fund some pretty outstanding projects. On the other hand, AFRI has also witnessed multiple funding of projects that are mundane and nearly useless. However, the evaluation of funding organizations parallels that of fund raising personnel. We are all improving. In the 1990s, foundations are doing a much better job of funding useful programs.
Foundations tend to look for programs that are innovative at meeting the needs of their mission.
Remember, each foundation has guidelines, and before submitting a proposal, your nonprofit should research to see if your goals parallel their goals. If the answer is yes, go ahead. If the answer is no, do not waste their time and yours. What we can guarantee. AFRI grant proposals will be of highest quality and competitive when compared with others.
