Members testimonials
Over the past three years, DARPE has been an important resource for us in identifying grant opportunities that align closely with our mission and technical expertise.
As we continue our work toward sustainable peace, stability, and prosperity in Syria, we are keen to maintain access to DARPE’s valuable platform and services.
I think DARPE offers a niche experience as it captures MENA specific opportunities. It tracks those smaller funds that medium to smaller NGOs usually can apply for and you won’t be able to find on other major funding platforms.
DARPE is catering to one of the most important needs of nonprofits; that is, locating and pursing funding opportunities in the right time. DARPE is an invaluable value-addition to the civil society ecosystem by sharing funding opportunities allowing only the best projects to see the light.
DARPE helps us tremendously in scoping for new funding opportunities for our organization. The platform is user-friendly and the team is always present to support
I have been a member at DARPE for 7 continuous years. DARPE helped us identify the opportunities that we seek without the hassle of checking all vendors' websites on a daily basis. What used to take a full day to do, became a few minutes work.
DARPE provides us with key insights about the donor’s landscape and forecasts for upcoming projects. DARPE also hosts educational seminars and workshops, which cater to various areas of interest in the development sphere in the MENA region. This keeps us in the loop on all new changes in the development field.
DARPE helps us keeping track on relevant regional tenders, specifically in EGYPT and TUNISIA. We won a World Bank tender on public administration and are currently writing a proposal for a UN tender. Both tenders re identified from DARPE. We would like to proceed with our membership renewal.
With DARPE, I spend a total of 25 minutes monitoring funding opportunities weekly, rather than three hours. Without DARPE, I might only identify an interesting opportunity several days after its publication.
DARPE initiative is more than a virtual portal of services, resources and projects, it is a house of expertise and knowledge that is generously shared with all its members.
Our Experience with DARPE has been quite enjoyable; we find the website well-organized, and the provided service is excellent!
