This document discusses eligibility requirements for international grants for non-governmental organizations (NGOs). It explains that to be eligible for international grants, NGOs must be properly registered in any countries where they operate programs. They must obtain approval letters from the authorities of each host country to demonstrate their legal non-profit status. These approval letters are important documents to include in grant applications to international funders, as funders want to support NGOs working in the areas and countries where they are located. The document stresses the importance of safely storing both physical and electronic copies of approval letters and other key organization documents.

1. International Grants for Non-Government
Organizations
Non-Governmental Organizations
A non-governmental organization, more popularly known as an NGO, is an
organization that delivers programs at a local, national, or international level. It
operates independently of government even if the NGO approval is given by the
host country where it delivers its projects and/or services. NGOs provide
projects in various areas— health, education, food stability, environmental
conservation, information, and calamity response, just to name a few. Famous
NGOs whose advocacies have made them famous worldwide include The
Wikimedia Foundation (information); Oxfam International (humanitarian work);
and CARE International (poverty alleviation). However, there are hundreds of
thousands of NGOs making a difference around the nation and all over the world.
If you’re working for an NGO, then there’s a lot of good news when it comes to
sourcing out funds. You can apply for funding not only from grantmakers in the
United States but from foreign governments, foundations, and corporations as
well. Compared to for-profit businesses whose funding sources are limited, NGOs
are able to enjoy a wide variety of funding sources both in the national and
international levels.
Eligibility for International Grants
Before you can apply for funding from both national and international funders,
you have to make sure that you are eligible to apply for grants from them. This
means that if you are an NGO based in the United States then you have to register
as a nonprofit organization with the Internal Revenue Service. The 501(c)(3)
status that it will give when you have complied with all the requirements is valid
for all the 50 states. Furthermore, this means that your search for funding
sources is limited only to grantmakers in the United States. You can pretty much
forget international funders if you are operating solely within the country since
the focus of these funding agencies is on giving their monies to NGOs with
advocacies where they are located.
Now if you are a non-governmental organization with programs in a specific
country or countries then you can source out funds from international sources.
To ensure that you have NGO status in the country where you are operating in,
you have to make sure that you register your organization with the proper

2. authorities there. Follow the rules and regulations in the country where you have
your programs so that you won’t run into any glitches when applying for grants.
If you’re operating in multiple countries, you do have to follow the policies in
each country where you have programs and seek approval letters from each of
them.
It’s very important that you keep your NGO approval letters in a safe place. It’s
recommended that you make not only physical copies but electronic ones as well
of your approval letters and other important documents so that you don’t have to
worry if you lose any of them. Approval letters are extremely important since
funding applications generally require that these be attached together with other
documents about your organization.
