A complete profile, a clear delivery plan, and regular reporting are the three things that most affect whether a company approves your grant application.

Companies posting grants review dozens of applications a week — a profile missing a description, founding year, or area of activity gets skipped over easily. Spend 15 minutes filling in “Edit profile” before you start applying.

When it comes to the delivery plan itself, concrete numbers land better than vague promises — “we’re planting 500 trees by June” is more convincing than “we’re improving the environment.” And finally: NGOs that regularly submit reports on past projects build a visible track record of trust on their public profile, which companies see directly before deciding who gets funded.
