• Examination of the project’s suitability (illustration of the matching of means to objectives)
• Detailed budget plan (delivering credible risk-discounted
cost and return expectations)
• Evaluation of the team (competence of those involved in project execution, who act
as guarantors of its materialization and durability)
Always include a concise executive summary, explai- ning the funding plan in as few words as possible.
The funding plan must also
meet certain formal requi-
rements for content and
form in case it is submitted
as a formal funding application. It must then be suited to the sensibilities and demands of the funding partner. It is therefore wise to ascertain beforehand whether there is a deadline for submission and whether there are certain standard forms that have to be completed, however demanding this may be, in order to rework the same plan according to different formats.
Funding as a pre-condition
A project’s financial needs must be fully covered by the appropriate sources of funding before starting its implementation. The funds have to actually be available (i.e. in the bank account) before the start of each phase of the project. In case there is not one funding source covering the entire project, it is advisable to divide the project into separate archaeological project phases with independent funds.
