Meeting our three grantees from Narrow The Gap 2020!

By Vo Ngoc Tuyen - Kelly | Head of Corporate Partnerships & Fundraising

Dear Friends,

First of all, I want to sincerely thank you very much for all your support and understanding towards Narrow The Gap and our team at LIN, after months of delay due to the Covid-19 pandemic situation, we finally managed to successfully organize the Narrow The Gap 2020 program thanks to all the understanding, patience, flexibility and dedication from participating nonprofit organizations of the program this year.

To ensure the safety of everyone, we organized a virtual presentation where nonprofits could present their concept notes through Zoom and Livestream to Grant Allocation Committee members from their own provinces, including an online Q&As session for all finalists to answer questions from the community; you can access to the recording Q&As session here

After the presentations and calling for online voting from everyone in the community, we finally had the final results of the three grantees who were selected to receive grants from Narrow The Gap on the 20th September. I am delighted to share with you the results from the voting with some highlights:

3,440 people voted online of which 2,555 people voted validly
3 projects were selected to receive VND 120mil funding per project from the program
2 projects completed the voting round with remarkable votes

The three selected grantees are:

BAMBUSA VULGARIS project by Herbal Medicine Group
WASH AND ACTION CAMPAIGN AGAINST COVID-19 FOR KHMER SCHOOLS by the Center for Rural Research and Development of An Giang University
FIND CLEAN WATER FOR MY VILLAGERS by Nguyen Viet Khai Commune Women's Union in Ca Mau province.

Please kindly see below the attached document for more information about the three grantees.

Once again, We would like to extend our sincere thanks to you not only for the donation, but also all the support and understanding during the program implementation, which allows three projects access to funding and support to continue their work and mission at their own communities despite the Covid-19 pandemic situation

For the next steps, we will collect feedback from participating local NPOs, Grant Allocation Committees, partners and volunteers for our future improvement. If you have some feedback or any suggestion, we would love to hear from you too.

In addition, this year, we will continue to help the three selected grantees to raise more funds and volunteering support from companies and communities. Therefore, we are going to launch a fundraising campaign for the three grantees in mid-November to get more funding support for the grantees going forward. So please stay tuned!

And again, there are many ways for you to get involved either by donating directly to Narrow The Gap on GlobalGiving or even creating your own fundraiser to support Narrow The Gap by clicking here (it is a very simple step by step process).

If you have any questions about Narrow the Gap, please do not hesitate to contact me directly at kelly.vo@linvn.org.

Please stay safe and well!
