How to build a Madhya Pradesh funder shortlist
- Start from your districts — funders with operations near your work are higher-fit than famous names with no local footprint.
- Filter by sector evidence — past projects and stated priorities must match your programmes.
- Check budget and timing — typical grant size and decision windows determine whether outreach is worth it this quarter.
- Map an entry path — CSR team vs foundation, warm introduction, or plant-level community engagement.
