How Can Mission-Driven Organizations Access USAID Funding?

Accra, Ghana – January 12th – RSVP

Mission-driven organisations, nonprofits, start-ups and entrepreneurs need seed funding to build infrastructure and get their projects off the ground, yet they face intense competition to attract funds, and most grant making bodies have a long list of requirements before they sign off on a grant, such as evidence of impact, low overhead percentages, and measurements of scalability.

The US Global Development Lab at USAID has several potential funding opportunities that are designed for innovative mission-driving organizations, including:

Please RSVP now to join the next Technology Salon Accra and dive deeply into how local nonprofits, start-ups, and entrepreneurs can access these and other USAID funding opportunities with these key thought leaders:

About the Technology Salon

The Technology Salon™ is an intimate, informal, and in person, discussion between information and communication technology experts and international development professionals, with a focus on both:

  • Technology’s impact on donor-sponsored technical assistance delivery, and
  • Private enterprise driven economic development, facilitated by technology.

 

Our meetings are lively conversations, not boring presentations. Attendance is capped at 35 people – and frank participation with ideas, opinions, and predictions is actively encouraged.

It’s also a great opportunity to meet others motivated to employ technology to solve vexing development problems. Join us today!
