Beyond appeals

WHAT DOES FTS ALLOW YOU TO DO?

Monitor funding status of any appeal: per organization,

per sector/cluster, per priority, location, and project – thus

highlighting funding gaps.

Monitor humanitarian funding outside the appeal,

identify donors and recipient organizations for activities not

included in the appeal.

WHAT DOES FTS ALLOW YOU TO DO?

Donor profiles – quick overviews of humanitarian funding

by any given donor to a specific country or globally.

Analyze funding trends – global trends by donor, sector,

emergency or recipient agency.

HOW FTS CAN HELP YOU

Facilitate advocacy efforts: by identifying areas with the greatest

resource needs, highlighting neglected emergencies, under-funded

organizations, sectors/clusters, and locations in country.

Better targeted fundraising: FTS also allows you to see which

donors are funding what. By analyzing donor interests and funding

trends you can better target your fundraising efforts.

Save staff time: by providing information and analysis at your

fingertips.

HOW FTS CAN HELP YOU

Coordination: offering information at a glance on which

implementing organizations and donors are working in which

emergencies, sectors, and locations, and to what scale.

CAP/Flash Appeal visibility: FTS helps to draw attention

to humanitarian needs and the funding requirements of

implementing organizations. FTS provides visibility for your

projects by showing both the funding requirements and the

project description online.
