« Northern” partners are often large associations with long experience of working with local associations in southern countries. They are responsible for the projects they propose to FdnF, and monitor them closely thanks to their expatriate staff or those frequently sent on mission.

Collaboration between FdnF and its partners in the North often goes back many years, and relationships of great trust, justified by good results, have been established.

The northern partner manages the project and sends all its reports to FdnF, which supervises them (a certain number are financed by the Michelham Foundation).

In this way, FdnF can devote greater attention to its partners in the South.

Funding for partners in the North is limited to 40% of the budget allocated by FdnF to projects supported each year (excluding funding for projects supported by Michelham Foundation funds).

« Southern” partners are local non-governmental organizations with a direct presence in the country concerned. To be considered for funding, they must meet strict criteria, including providing an activity and audit report for the last two years.
