How to build a Madhya Pradesh funder shortlist

  1. Start from your districts — funders with operations near your work are higher-fit than famous names with no local footprint.
  2. Filter by sector evidence — past projects and stated priorities must match your programmes.
  3. Check budget and timing — typical grant size and decision windows determine whether outreach is worth it this quarter.
  4. Map an entry path — CSR team vs foundation, warm introduction, or plant-level community engagement.
  5. Research at scale — a scored universe of 200–500 researched, high-fit funders beats spray outreach to dozens with thin research.
