How are the Grants evaluated?

Please visit the Evaluation criteria on our website. This may vary depending on the category but broadly each proposal will be evaluated on the fit for purpose, the team structure and expertise, thought-out costing, maintenance plan, timeline and milestones.

Is there an updated schedule for all the grants opening and closing?

Intersect will open each category on a rolling schedule. Keep an eye on the grants pages at https://www.intersectmbo.org/grants, and Intersect channels for more information and announcements.

Will only one proposal be supported, or will more than one proposal be supported?

The grants will be across multiple categories, awarding several grants. You can find more information about the categories that will be open at https://www.intersectmbo.org/grants “Learn More”.

Are there minimum or maximum amounts for subsidies?

You can find information about the grant amount within each category’s detailed brief. Please visit https://www.intersectmbo.org/grants, “Learn More”, “Proposal Discussion Forum Grant.”, “Considerations”

English is not my first language. Am I able to apply for a Grant?

You are able to submit a proposal however this would need to be in coherent English and the Intersect team would need to be able to communicate with you on a call to discuss your proposal and progression if you were to be successful.
