The long-term objective of SLGAFI is to fund projects designed to support education in countries disadvantaged by lack of resources, particularly Haiti.

Although all eligible applications will be reviewed, only a small percentage will be funded. Evaluation criteria such as relevance to education, feasibility, qualifications and experience of the project director will be considered in the selection process. It is the responsibility of the applicant to submit a well-written proposal with emphasis on the milestones, feasibility of the project and clear statement of impact. Proposals are accepted in English or French.

Each proposal will be reviewed by a panel of internal and external reviewers. Funding decision will be made quarterly by the board of directors and a summary of the funded projects will be published on our site. All evidence of impact of funded proposals including progress report, site pictures and meetings will be published.

Equipment requested in the proposals will be the property of the host institution and not that of the project director nor will it be owned by the Foundation.
