In this 90-minute interactive webinar, we’ll explore the key factors that evaluators consider when reviewing funding proposals. Being independent evaluators for the European Commission, the Austrian government, and several European foundations ourselves, we bring in-depth knowledge of the evaluation process. With firsthand experience reviewing proposals, we truly know what works and what doesn’t. The session will cover three main areas:

(1) Understanding the evaluation process
We’ll walk you through the evaluation process, explaining what we, as evaluators, look for when reviewing proposals. From our experience, we’ll share how to structure your submission to meet funders’ expectations and increase your chances of success.

(2) Common pitfalls to avoid
We’ll point out the most frequent mistakes we’ve encountered in proposals—such as an unclear logic, weak problem statements, and unrealistic budgets—and guide you on how to avoid them. Based on our experience as evaluators, we’ll provide actionable advice for strengthening your proposals.

(3) Best practices for getting higher scores
We’ll share effective strategies for creating well-structured, compelling proposals that stand out. Drawing from our background as evaluators, we’ll offer tips on how to present your project in a way that aligns with funders’ goals and evaluator’s expectations.

Throughout the session, there will be interactive exercises to help you apply these insights to your own proposals. You’ll also receive all material from the session to help you score high with your next proposals. 30 days free access to our donor research platform TripleFunds comes as additional bonus.
