Who will be able to join the directory?

Our planned submission process distinguishes organizations from the community initiatives they operate.

Organizations

Community-based organizations, nonprofits, associations and implementation partners with a defined public-benefit purpose.

Projects

Time-bound or ongoing activities with local leadership, goals, responsibilities and measurable deliverables.

Campaigns

Fundraising and public-interest campaigns, reviewed before any GANED fundraising option is made available.

Community initiatives

Grassroots activities seeking collaboration, volunteers, expertise or other forms of support.

Trust and transparency

How future submissions will be reviewed

GANED will check identity, appropriate contact information and submission completeness before public listing. Additional organizational verification and funding approvals involve separate assessments.

Approved profiles can show a location, responsible organization, project description, contact routes, current needs and publication dates. Private documentation will not appear on the public site.

Work led by communities, supported by the diaspora.

Good projects need a mix of responsible local teams, skills, resources, trusted partnerships and honest reporting—not simply visibility.
