Are you…

At MatchLocal, we believe that the best solutions for societies come from within. That’s why we’re dedicated to supporting and amplifying efforts of local organisations to create meaningful and lasting change.

““The self-assessment exercise was very useful. It enabled us to take a reflective approach to our association, to identify its strengths and weaknesses, and to look ahead to possible actions to be taken in the light of the opportunities offered by our context.””

What we offer for free to our network and partners

Document review

Depending on our workload, we can review your proposals and donor reports, give feedback, etc.

Many international donors require a partner organisation from the global north to apply for a grant. Under the right circumstances, MatchLocal can be the German partner for you.

Grants

What we cannot do

MatchLocal is currently unable to provide any grants itself.

Unfortunately, we are not able to do any independent fundraising for you. Due to strict laws around non-profit organisations in Germany, we are also not able to advertise or share fundraisers that are not our own.

Individual fundraising support

Programming support

At MatchLocal, we believe that humanitarian programmes should be designed by the people who benefit from them. Therefore, we do not contribute to programme design or developing new projects on the ground.

  1. Write to us at info[@]matchlocal.org and briefly tell us about your work and needs.

  2. We will set up a first call – we introduce ourselves, you introduce your organisation.

  3. Together we will explore if collaboration is useful and in what form.

How our collaboration starts

We look forward to hearing from you!
