Does becoming an iMPACT direct partner guarantee funding?
No. Partnership does not automatically guarantee funding. We provide opportunities to increase NGOs visibility to potential funders beyond our programme as well as support them to become professional and more credible.
It is a joint effort from the NGO and ourselves to ensure our work attracts funds and the funding decisions rests entirely on the relevant donor.
Does iMPACT direct charge NGOs to become partners?
No. The partnership opportunity is intended to support locally led organisations, and selected partners do not incur charges during the three year partnership. Charges apply when a non partner NGO independently reaches out to iMPACT direct to engage through the available consultancy packages. The specific costs and requirements associated with the consultancy packages can be found here.(Link to consultancy packages)
