DFID drops requirement for match funding in this AidDirect round

  • 1.  DFID drops requirement for match funding in this AidDirect round

    Posted 05-28-2020 10:43

    Some good news. After advocacy by Humentum and Bond, DFID has dropped the requirement for 25% match for Impact grants in its next round of Aid Direct funding.

    At this stage this only applies to the new round, and is a recognition of the financial impact of COVID-19 on NGOs.

    Our next ask will be to set aside match requirements on existing awards.

    Hope this helps and encourages more applications, more details available here: https://www.ukaiddirect.org/apply/impact/
