Can organisations that have a live Multi-Year Funding application also apply to the Open Fund for Organisations (OFFO)?

The current OFFO guidance remains in place and if an applicant believes their proposed project is compatible with the OFFO fund eligibility and guidance, and their organisation is eligible, they can apply to the fun.  

Applicants should be aware however that any organisation awarded Multi-Year Funding cannot also be in receipt of OFFO funds for the same time period and therefore if an organisation applies to both funds and is awarded Multi-Year Funding when decisions are announced in January 2025, they will be subsequently required to withdraw their OFFO application. 

It is also worth noting that current Regularly Funded Organisations (RFOs) are not eligible to apply for OFFO funding whilst they are still receiving Regular Funding.
