Purpose

Friends of Niger (FON) Project Committee supports non-governmental organizations providing services that directly benefit the people of Niger. To date grants have generally ranged between 250,000 CFA ($500) and 500,000 CFA ($1000) with the exception of a few programs, which were funded at a higher level because they had matching funds, an experienced administrative structure and broad support.

Applications are accepted year round but the proposals will be reviewed at the FON Board quarterly conference call meetings generally scheduled in mid January, April, July and October. To be considered, applicants must complete the FON Projects application Short Form (two pages) or Long Form (three pages for projects over 500,000 CFA).
