Provision of Grant Making Services to UNDP - "EXTENSON OF SUBMISSION DEADLINE"

UNDP is the UN's global development network, an organization advocating for change and connecting countries to knowledge, experience and resources to help people build a better life. We are on the ground in 170 countries and territories, working to end poverty and inequality. 

To support private sector resource partnerships towards the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), UNDP is seeking to partner with an organization that can provide grant-making services to UNDP for financial contributions (donations and grants) from the private sector to UNDP.

The objective is to facilitate charitable financial contributions from the private sector (corporations, foundations and individuals) to UNDP’s work in advancing the SDGs.  The grant-making services should cover, at a minimum, the United States of America (USA), but may be expanded to other countries, including but not limited to United Kingdom, Canada, Germany and Australia.

The main services to be provided by the grant-making service institution are:

1. To promote the work of UNDP through an online donation page hosted on the grant-maker website, based on content approved by UNDP.
2. To provide grant making services i.e. facilitating private sector cash contributions to UNDP, including IRS tax recognition to contributors covering those donations drawn from U.S. contributors in accordance with U.S. tax law.
3. To receive funds on behalf of UNDP from private contributors to support UNDP’s programme activities. 
4. To conduct due diligence, including reputational risk assessment of prospective donor partners (corporates, foundations, and High Net Worth Individuals (HNWI), that will make financial contributions towards UNDP programmes, in line with UNDP’s due diligence policy.  Propose fundraising outreach strategies (including employee giving) for suitable public and private sector entities
5. To provide the necessary reports to contributors on funds received in line with donor requirements, including annual narrative and financial reports that will be subject to audit in accordance with UNDP Financial Regulations and Rules.
