Organisations must have a mission consistent with IDEG's core values, focusing on democratic governance, human rights, social justice and community development. IDEG primarily supports non-profit organisations and social enterprises that operate for the public good, have a clear governance structure and must demonstrate a commitment to transparency, including financial reporting practices and adherence to ethical standards. For-profit entities, organisations with missions that conflict with IDEG's values, political campaigns or those that fail to meet IDEG's transparency and governance standards are not eligible. Organisations must have no criminal record, including involvement in money laundering or other financial crimes. The application process requires a detailed proposal, financial statements, a budget and a description of how the organisation's work aligns with IDEG's values.
