Jamaica Social Investment Fund (JSIF)
Funding Guide for NGOs and CBOs
The information provided in the Guide is intended to serve as a quick reference

for NGOs and CBOs seeking alternate sources of funding. It will assist groups in
identifying the most appropriate potential source of funding for their project as
well as it will assist funding agencies in directing groups to the more suitable
agencies.
The organisations profiled in the Guide have been categorised according to their
areas of interest and these are laid out in the table of contents. In many cases
organisations will appear in more than one category as their interests cover a
broad spectrum. Organisation profiles are filed alphabetically in the Guide,
therefore, once having identified your area of interest, locate the relevant
organisations in alphabetical order in the Guide. Additionally, located at the back
of the Guide is an index of the organisations with page numbers, for easy
reference.
The funding profile offers an overview of the mission or the goals of the
organisation as it relates to funding. It stipulates which groups are eligible for
funding and what criteria must be met in order to qualify for funding. Generally,
the type of funding provided is grants and in some cases this is supported by
offers of scholarships, training, equipment and so on. Restrictions or funding
ceilings if they exist are noted, as are availability of funds and application
procedures. Application procedures vary among the organisations, some more
straightforward than others. There is an indication where Brochures are available
and it advisable that groups/organisations utilise these, as they are very useful in
illustrating what past projects the organisations have been involved with. There is
also a 'Tips and Checklist' entry included to assist users of the Guide in making
their selections and for preparation of applications.
This Guide was first compiled in May 1999. Updated in July 2000, July 2001 and March
2006.

Tips & Checklist
TIPS
Make a list of all the organisations that reflect your area of interest - prioritise
them for best fit.
Think creatively - can your project fit into other areas of interest apart from the
obvious ones?
If any of your list of organisations have brochures, make sure you collect and
read them. They provide valuable information on successful past projects.
Re-examine your project by asking the following questions: -
How can it be made more innovative?
Is the main objective stated clearly?
How will the project be sustained after the initial funding?
Have you clearly identified whom the project will benefit?
Have you clearly indicated who will manage the project, and how?
Read the Application procedures for each organisation very carefully. Some
organisations have a two-step process whereby they want a letter or
application first, followed up a full project proposal.
Check out the organisation's website if they have one and if you have access
to the Internet.
Try and get your correspondence/proposals typed up if possible.

USAID (cont.)
Special Objective (SPO): Improved Economic and Social Conditions In Targeted Inner City
Communities.
USAID's special objective works within two inner city communities - Grants Pen and
Standpipe - to improve economic and social conditions. This is a "special objective"
because of its limited scope and its highly challenging and non-traditional program
design. Under this special objective USAID works with an NGO, with community-based
organizations which have successful track records in volatile communities, and with the
private sector to reduce crime and violence and to create new employment opportunities.
The special objective has two intermediate results.
Increasing Employment and Entrepreneurial Opportunities
Activities under this intermediate result are designed to create employment opportunities
for the inner city residents by such means as:
Identifying products and services in demand and available within these

communities;
Providing vocational and skills training for inner city residents to meet
business needs;
Providing micro and small business loans for purchasing raw material,
making initial salary payments, paying for piecework and/or transporting
finished product to retailer/vendors, etc.
Providing entrepreneurs with access to micro-enterprise lending

agencies for business support services;
Identifying retail outlets for the goods and services produced by new and
expanded private businesses within and around the communities.
Improved Community Capacity for Conflict Resolution.
Reducing the levels of crime and violence in these communities will lead to citizens
taking greater pride in their community, allow residents to better organize community
events, and to attract businesses to the area. This in turn will provide employment
opportunities to the residents. This intermediate result will seek to improve
communication skills among residents, introduce non-violent ways for residents to vet
their frustrations, and work to overcome local distrust of the police. Conflict resolution will
be addressed by such means as:
Identifying existing and potential community leaders who would benefit

from training in communication and conflict resolution skills;
Developing and promoting partnerships with residents, community based

organizations, the police, and private sector interests, to find durable
solutions to the problems of crime and violence;
Introducing programs and activities that will promote constructive

relationships between the residents and police; examples include
community sports competitions, collaborative youth club efforts, and
other activities

Environment - Strategic Objective No. 2: Improved Quality of Key Natural Resources in
Selected Areas that are both Environmentally and Economically Significant - $19 million
program
The purpose of this strategic objective is to reverse the trend of environmental degradation by
promoting environmentally sound practices and policies that will result in the sustainable
management of the natural resource base on which Jamaicas economy depends.
Strategic Objective 2s response to environmental threats is an integrated Ridge-to Reef natural

resource management program that assists community-based NGOs to implement activities, i.e.
agroforestry, eco-tourism, appropriate on-site sanitation solutions and environmental audit
programs, that will improve the quality of coastal waters and upland watersheds. Other
interventions will focus on improving the policy framework and wastewater/sewage management.
Eligibility:
Government Agencies
Private Sector
NGOs.

USAID (cont.)
Education - Strategic Objective No 3 - Increased Literacy and Numeracy Among Targeted

Jamaican Youth - $12.86 million program
This strategic objective seeks to increase literacy and numeracy among targeted Jamaican youth
through the formal education sector as well as informal sector utilising NGOs. Two programs
assist with achieving the SO: The Uplifting Adolescents Project (UAP I & II) and the New
Horizons for Primary Schools Activity (NHA).
Strategic Objective 4 - The overall objective of this program is to improve the language arts,
literacy and mathematics scores of students 6-12 years of age in a limited number (72) of primary
schools and; and improve the numeracy/literacy skills of at-risk youth so that they can either re-
enter the formal education system or prevent them from dropping out of school in the first place.
Eligibility:
Government Agencies
Private Sector
NGO's
Current Program
Achievement of the strategic objective in the education sector is supported by two programs: The
Uplifting Adolescents Project (UAP I & II) and the New Horizons for Primary Schools Activity
(NHA). The ultimate customers of the NHA program is the 72 targeted primary schools 28,000
students, 1,900 teachers and 504 primary school board members and community community
representatives. UAP targets approximately 11,000 at-risk youth, most of whom are out of
school.
New Horizons for Primary Schools Activity

To address systemic weaknesses of the primary school system and improve the performance of
children in mathematics and reading, this activity provides integrated packages of interventions
directed at primary schools serving children in low-income communities throughout the island.
These interventions are customized to meet the specific needs of each of the 72 target schools.
They include:
provision of teaching and learning materials for mathematics and reading;

governance and leadership training for school principals and school boards;
introduction of improved educational technology;
in-service and pre-service teacher training; and
nutritional support to poor students and parenting education and training
Uplifting Adolescents Project

To address the needs of adolescents who have, either, dropped out or are at risk of dropping out
of school, USAID works with local NGOs to provide remedial education and training for
reinstatement in school and to improve their social and job skills. UAP I was managed by a U.S.
based contractor (Development Associates, Inc.) and UAP II (began in November 2000) is being
managed through an umbrella NGO, Peoples Action for Community Transformation (PACT).
This project provides grants to NGOs to deliver a package of services to at-risk youth ages 10-
18 in selected urban/rural areas throughout the island. Special attention is given to those with

special circumtances (e.g. substance abuse, pregnancy, hearing impaired). Delivery package of
services include:
preventing early child bearing, high-risk births, and the spread of HIV/AIDS/STIs
remedial education to improve numeracy and literacy
pre-vocational skills training
social and family life skills
