Funding

About funding

GCVSI is a not-for-profit and charitable organization that secures its funding from different sources.

Membership fees:

Members support our work, including one-off registration fee payment, which varies according between the developing and developed countries.

Dues: Annual membership dues equal to one’s registration category is also a source of funding even though very little is gotten from that source to drive programs and projects. However, dues collection is just a way to validate one’s membership.

Voluntary Donations:

GCVSI relies much on donations from members of the public and corporations to support its activities.

Grants:

GCVSI may apply for a call for proposal as much as the call falls within its thematic areas of operations.

Financial Request:

GCVSI may solicit financial support from individuals, corporate bodies, and international development partners to support our programs.

Collaboration:

GCVSI may receive funding from partners during collaborative ventures. GCVSI has a standard partnership procedure; see GCVSI Services: Partnerships for more details.

Capacity-building activities:

The primary source in this area is GCVSI’s training of Civil Society Organizations to promote competencies and best practices.
