A large part of KMDF’s grantmaking is done through an Open call for applications. However, we do offer occasional closed calls for project Applications.
Before submitting an application, please first consult the KMDF guidelines on overview and eligibility, geographic restrictions as well as selection criteria. If your Group/organization is eligible to apply for a KMDF grant, please submit a preliminary concept note of no more than one page by e-mail to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. The Concept note should include a summary of the project for which the group/association wants to implement if awarded a grant.
After reviewing submissions, KMDF team will then determine eligibility. If the initial concept note satisfies our criteria, we will request for a longer and detailed application from the group.
