Requests to provide regular income, support, salaries or monthly expenses for the personal benefit of the applicant.
Click here to read: Why is this ?

All fund-raising appeals that have been sent to many people; major aid or relief after catastrophies; buildings; travel tickets; meals for conventions; the purchase of gifts, cars, motor-bikes, computers, scanners, cameras, copiers, to Liberia and anything not agreed in advance.



The four basic criteria we employ to evaluate any application are:

1. Is the applicant in good relationship with us ? *
2. Is the applicant a good and truthful communicator ?
3. Can the applicant give evidence of proven integrity ?
4. Is the applicant competent to run the project ?


* Our first guiding principle is that sponsorship only ever follows relationship and friendship. Click here to see how to build a relationship with us before asking about money.

Our second guiding principle is that the DCI Fund does not provide "hand-outs" instead we consider "hand-ups" - that is giving a helping hand to pull people upwards into long-term solutions. For example before you ask for a gift of pounds consider asking for a  plantation that will generate money.


The only way
to approach the DCI Fund


Please be prepared to be patient as we will proceed with great caution. We do not want to refuse any genuine application but we do have a serious  responsibility to ensure that funds do not fall into the wrong hands.

Please carefully read the introduction again and apply ONLY if you qualify.

Send us a maximum of 10 lines in ENGLISH through this secure page.

1. Tell us who you are, your age and where you live.
2. Tell us how we know you. 
3. Give us a brief description of your proposed project and the cost.

You can apply for one project only and a first application must be for less than US $750 / UK £500.  If we can help we send you a full application form to complete and return.


If you do not answer the three questions we will not be able to help you but please do not tell us any more than this.


You must allow up to 8 weeks for your application to be processed.
