If you are thinking of applying for a grant from TDT, first please read our Funding Guidelines carefully.
If your project fits within these Guidelines, download our Application Form. The application form is also available in Swahili

- registration certificate of the applicant’s organisation
- letter of recommendation from the district council

The final decision to grant funding is made by our committee at one of our committee meetings.
Things to consider
Strong applications will clearly demonstrate the following:
- the underlying need has been well researched, and the project is supported by the local community
- who the intended beneficiaries are, and how they have been selected
- the district council has been informed, and support the application
- there is a clear plan of work
- the project represents value for money
