Applicants must provide articles of association, organisational structure, official registration, audited financial statements for the required period, the previous two years of externally audited financial reports and recommendation or support letters from two organisations with which the applicant has worked. The project submission must accurately describe the proposed development intervention and its budget.

Submit the complete project package through AGFUND\'s official funding channel. AGFUND states that NGO proposals are received for Board cycles around mid-April and mid-October but does not publish an exact calendar date for the upcoming October cutoff.
