Dear Prospective
Grant Applicant:
Thank you for your interest in the Mongolian
Foundation for Open Society's (MFOS) open grant program.
The following information is designed to help you get
a better idea of the kind of proposals our foundation
supports according to our mission..
MFOS generally awards grants through openly
announced competitions, not through open grants. Before
preparing an open grant application, first check to
see if the project you are proposing would fit into
any of MFOS's regularly announced competitions. If your
proposed project does not fit one of the regularly announced
competitions, it is possible to submit an open grant
proposal, but it must be related to the foundation's
overall mission to support the development of open society
and fitted to any of the MFOS program strategy. In general,
MFOS accepts new proposals that:
· designed to increase public participation
in draft policies and laws
· designed to increase the openness, effectiveness,
accountability, transparency of the draft laws or policies
themselves
· strengthen capacity of intermediate institutions
and systems that support key demiocracy/open society
sectors
· model demonstration projects: designed to demonstrate
a new idea in practice at the grassroots level
· tie grassroots activities with the policy making
process
· develop new content or access to content
Prospective applicants are encouraged
to first learn about related MFOS programs by reviewing
the program information sheets (in the hall outside
our office), visiting our web site, and by contacting
the relevant program coordinator. In order to apply
for a grant from our foundation, please fill out the
cover sheet and follow the attached application form
and return it to our Grants Department, room 310.
After initial screening eligible proposals
are reviewed by the relevant MFOS expert committee and
by the MFOS board. It usually takes around 2 months
for a proposal to be reviewed. Open grant proposals
are evaluated according to the overall MFOS mission
and criteria outlined on the attached guidelines. Remember,
clear, measurable expected outcomes must be presented
in order for a project to be considered by MFOS.
Good luck in the application process.
Sincerely,
Stephen D. Vance
Executive Director
