Our preference is to receive Letters of Interest online, because we are then able to process your request quicker. If you still decide to send us a Letter of Interest by email, or post, you need to assure we receive the Letter of Interest by 17 April 2018, 11:59 pm CEST. Letters of Interest received after this date and time will not be considered. You can check your local time here

In 2017, we received 1562 funding requests of which we could approve 22new grants (1.4% of all requests) in our portfolios of Body, Money and Voice.For 2018, we expect to approve grants to approximately 15 new groups, in addition to the planned renewal grants to current grantee-partners. This means that we have to make difficult decisions on which groups we can and cannot support. The Mama Cash selection criteria and priority are leading in our decision-making process.
