How to apply to Saferworld / European Commission

General steps for a funder of this type. Always follow the instructions on the funder's own call page where they differ.

1. Read the full call document, not only the summary. Note the eligible countries, the type of organization that may apply and the maximum award.
2. Check registration steps early. Some government funders require an organization to be registered in a supplier or grantee system, such as SAM.gov and a UEI for US federal grants or a PIC number on the EU Funding & Tenders Portal. These can take weeks.
3. Prepare the documents they usually ask for: legal registration, recent accounts or audit, a budget that follows their template, and letters from partners.
4. Answer the scoring criteria directly, using the same headings and the same wording as the call.
5. Submit well before the deadline. Late or incomplete applications are normally rejected without review.

Before you start: documents to have ready

• Proof that your organization is legally registered, and the registration number.
• Your most recent annual accounts or audit, or a bank statement if you are new.
• A one-page organizational profile with mission, location and track record.
• A project summary with the problem, the activities, the people who benefit and the expected results.
• A budget in the currency the funder asks for, with each cost line explained.

Use the grant tools to check your organization's fit, write the proposal and track the deadline.
