How sponsorship works

For a partner funding work with one named National Society. The Centre does the technical work; who carries which cost is set out below.

01/Three steps

Step one

Route the request

The request goes through the Centre's intake with the National Society's consent. You can submit it; the National Society confirms.

Step two

The Centre triages and delivers

Triage, scoping and the technical work, with peer review of every output before it reaches the National Society.

Step three

You carry the cost you agreed

The Centre's delivery cost, invoiced by the Centre. In-country costs, agreed directly with the National Society. Or both.

On coordination

Where IFRC, ICRC or another partner is already engaged in the same country, the Centre coordinates rather than duplicates.
