Here are four simple steps to help you navigate the partnership process with Laudes Foundation.
Explore our work and eligibility criteria
Before contacting a member of Laudes Foundation’s team, please review our focus areas and eligibility criteria on our programme pages and Theory of Change.
Make sure your project aligns with our mission and priorities before using the contact form to submit a grant inquiry.
Contact form submission
Submit your details through our contact form if your work aligns with our mission, programme areas and Theory of Change.
Our team reviews all grant requests regularly and will be in touch.
Submit a proposal
If we invite you to submit a proposal, complete a light proposal for grants under EUR 100,000 or a full proposal for anything above EUR 100,000.
Full proposals require a detailed description of your initiative, an activity-based budget, a Gantt chart, and a Rubrics framework. Proposal templates can be completed in any language.
Fill out the application form if invited to propose a grant. Please use the contact form initially, as indicated in step two.
Approval process
Grants up to EUR 500,000 are reviewed by our Management Team. For amounts between EUR 250,000 and and less than EUR 500,000, we also consult two external experts.
Grants of EUR 500,000 or more require the approval of our Investment Committee.
Start of partnership
Upon approval, we will sign a grant agreement outlining the grant activities, intended outcomes, general terms and conditions as well as the reporting and disbursement schedule.
After signature of the grant agreement, the partner will receive access to our Partner Portal.
