In order to apply for a project, an organisation must demonstrate expertise in the relevant field. In order to consider a possible cooperation, the organisation must submit the following documents: Registration: A current certificate must be submitted verifying its legal form and that it is registered with the local authorities. Statutes: The organisation's statutes describing its administration, its organs and their functions must be provided. These must confirm its non-profit status and detail the disposition of its assets and funds in the event of its dissolution; Letter of recommendation: A letter is required which clearly shows that actions do not take place in isolation, but that they are integrated into the local development policy or church policy landscape. In the case of a wider scope of planned co-operation, the organisation must also present the following documents: Institutional annual financial statement: A current annual financial statement, disclosing assets and financial standing, must be submitted. This report should have been compiled within the previous two years. In addition, an audit of the annual accounts by an accredited auditing firm may be requested; Proof of regulated financial management; Proof of competence in the areas of planning, monitoring and evaluation (PME). We expect our partners to share our underlying ethical values.

Brot für die Welt exclusively supports projects of organisations. Individual persons can in no case be funded. Exclusion criteria: Brot für die Welt does not provide emergency assistance in humanitarian crises or catastrophes; Brot für die Welt cannot fund projects by government institutions, political parties or politically-affiliated foundations; Brot für die Welt avoids 100 percent funding of projects, meaning that partner organisations must secure and demonstrate other sources of financing. Organisations which do not fulfil these minimum requirements are not eligible to receive financial support from Brot für die Welt.
