Donors and Funding sources

At the international level, Diakonia primarily aims its fundraising efforts toward ilarger institutional donors, global trust funds, and private foundations. Grants are typically acquired through competitive calls for proposals, invited proposals to private foundations, or ongoing dialogue with bilateral donors.

To maximize stability and impact, we maintain a diversified funding portfolio that includes institutional donors, grant-making foundations, and individual donations. We aim to ensure that no single donor provides more than 50% of our annual budget. Major funding partners include the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida), EU Delegations and related European funding instruments, and private foundations and global funds.
