EuropeAid / INTPA consultancy and grant application preparation

EuropeAid and INTPA grant consultancy: eligibility and call fit, concept notes, full applications, partnerships, logical frameworks and budget review.

Build a focused application for an EU external-action funding opportunity. INTERALTER helps organisations assess a specific call and prepare the agreed concept-note or full-application package.

Who we help

  • NGOs and civil society organisations pursuing eligible external-action grants.
  • Universities, research institutions, public bodies and businesses where the call permits their participation.
  • Lead applicants and partners who need proposal, partnership or compliance support for a defined opportunity.

What we take on

  • Assess applicant, partner, geographic and thematic eligibility against the call documents.
  • Develop the intervention logic, partnership responsibilities and application structure.
  • Prepare agreed concept-note or full-application sections, a logical framework and budget inputs.
  • Review the package against the instructions and relevant grant requirements; distinguish grants from procurement tenders.

What you receive

  • An opportunity-fit and eligibility checklist based on the specific call.
  • The agreed concept note or application sections, results framework and partner-role plan.
  • A budget and compliance review with a prioritised list of issues to resolve before submission.

How to get started

Use the existing opportunity-assessment form to share the call and your organisation's needs. An initial assessment helps define the next discussion; it is not a funding decision or a commitment to an agreed paid engagement.

Useful information for your first enquiry

  • Call reference and submission deadline
  • Applicant profile and target country
  • Project concept, partners and available documents

How we work together

  1. Assess the opportunity

    Share the call link, organisation profile, target country and project concept. We identify the key eligibility and preparation questions.

  2. Prepare the package

    Your team provides operational evidence, local context, partner inputs and cost assumptions. We organise the agreed drafting and review work.

  3. Confirm readiness

    We review consistency and requirements together. The authorised applicant confirms its declarations, commitments and final submission.

Questions before we start

Can you prepare a concept note before the full application?

Yes, where the call uses that procedure. We agree support for the relevant stage rather than assuming every call has the same submission process.

Does every organisation qualify for EuropeAid funding?

No. Applicant type, countries, partnership conditions and activities must satisfy the specific call. We assess eligibility before recommending a full preparation effort.

Official call documents are authoritative. Grant applications and procurement tenders have different requirements; the service scope must identify which procedure applies.
