DECISION 1 –

Objective of the seed grants

​

The objective of the seed grant is the outcome your organisation hopes to achieve in providing seed grants to your chosen group of ‘Champions’. It is important to decide this in advance, as this will determine different processes further down the line

The objective of a seed-grant can be either:

HOVER

Broad

Increase

the participation

of girls in sport

Targeted

Increase

the participation

of 10-15-year-old

girls in basketball

The decision as to whether your organisation chooses to have a broad or more targeted objective can depend on a variety of different factors including:

​

  • Your organisations area of expertise

  • Funder requirements

  • The context in which your organisation operates

  • Interest from potential Champions

  • The current needs of your community

  • Cultural norms

​

It is also worth noting that the objective of your seed-grant programme could further vary depending on whether your organisation plans for the seed-grant programme to:

​

  1. be a completely new initiative,
  2. increase the size of an existing initiative offered by your organisation or,
  3. support the long-term sustainability of a project.​
