Have a great grant proposal? Need some feedback?
Great ideas deserve feedback and funding. We couldn’t agree more.
This is why KujaLink partnered with Unfunded List to provide high quality feedback on proposals that organizations had submitted for funding or were planning to submit for funding.
In September we received 65 proposals for review. In October, at least 4 reviews were completed for each proposal submitted. Over 3000 pages of feedback was created by professional reviewers. In November, each organization is receiving a 1:1 debrief of the feedback on their proposal.
Exciting news – The next round of submissions is scheduled for March 2024!

The participation in this initiative has no economic cost for KujaLink’s members.
At KujaLink we understand the frustration of spending weeks writing a proposal that ends up rejected or unanswered. We also know that many times a draft funding proposal spends months without being finished or without knowing which donor to send it to. Doubts arise about the structuring, vocabulary, measurements…
We offer to you what your proposal needs: people with extensive funding experience who can review your application and give you the feedback you need to get your organization the funding it needs. This service will be free of charge for eligible organizations and projects, so, get yours ready!
Since 2015, Unfunded List has reviewed over 1,000 funding proposals worldwide. Its pool of 900 experienced reviewers has provided helpful, honest and actionable returns so that organizations could raise needed money, with proposals that had previously failed to get funded.
How does this initiative work?
- To submit your application for review, you must have a complete organization profile on KujaLink. If you have any doubts about this, please contact us.
- We recommend you attend the three webinars to be held by Unfunded List, during February 2024.
- Applications must be written in English and must be targeted to a specific funder.
- A team of professional evaluators with extensive fundraising experience will evaluate your application and a document containing all the notes from them will be sent to you exactly 2 months after the submissions deadline.
- Finally, we offer an online meeting with one of the evaluators who were in charge of reviewing your application, so that you can clear up any remaining doubts.
The period for uploading proposals will run from March 18 to March 29 and it is mandatory to have attended at least one of the webinars given in February in order upload a proposal.
