My application got rejected, doesn’t the donor like small NGOs? Does he hate me?

No, it is not like that. If you zoom in the picture, you will get to know that donors do not hate you, but they may overlook the value your NGO offers. It means you have not effectively proven to donors that your organisation does indeed have value. 

The reason application is ignored or rejected cannot be blamed on the donor but more likely is related to capacity, strategy, and trajectory of your effort. 

If you keep the above reasons for rejection in mind and work on those areas where you can improve, you too can be one of those successful NGOs.

Here are some of the main reasons you get ignored or rejected:

  1. You didn’t follow the instructions.
  2. You apply to the wrong donor.
  3. You ask for money in an introductory email.
  4. You give up after the first try.
  5. You have low capacity to fundraise.
  6. You think you deserve funding.
  7. You think you deserve funding.
