In an effort to better accommodate the varying needs of Subud groups—taking into account weather conditions, contractor availability, and permit timelines- the Muhammad Subuh Foundation will introduce two grant application cycles beginning in 2026.

The 2026 timeline will be as follows for each cycle.

Two-Stage Application Process

Each cycle will follow this familiar process:

Stage 1 – Eligibility Check
Submit the Stage 1 application to assess whether your project meets MSF’s basic requirements. This step is mandatory.

Stage 2 – Project Details Submission
Only applicants who pass Stage 1 will be invited to submit detailed project information. If needed, MSF provides feedback to help refine future applications.

Application Review & Decision

Applications are evaluated by the MSF team, with input from International Helpers, Zone Representatives, and National Committees. Interviews may also take place.

Grant Agreement & Funds Transfer

Successful applicants sign an Agreement Letter. Funds are transferred “just in time” for the project, with tracking and confirmation procedures in place.

Essential Application Criteria

To strengthen your proposal, ensure you meet these MSF requirements, among others:

  • Complementary source: MSF finances part of the total cost [up to approx. 50% of the total cost subject to annual budget constraint]. Please be sure to explore all sources of funding.
  • Organizational standing: Your group must be a WSA member, adhere to its bylaws, and be a legally registered entity in your country.
  • Sustainability: Include a viable business plan for commercial use, compliant with local laws, to generate income for repairs, emergencies, taxes, etc.
  • Legal compliance: Ensure no funds will be used in any way that violates the U.S. Homeland Security Act regarding terrorism or violence-related activity.

What You Can Do Now

  • Review MSF Resources: Familiarize yourself with the Grant Process Guidelines and the MSF Grant Policy to understand the core evaluation criteria and required documentation at www.msubuhfoundation.org
  • Start Preparing: Build your financing plan, draft a business plan for commercial use, and gather evidence of group harmony.
  • Stay Informed: Keep an eye on MSF’s official communication channels for precise 2026 application dates, workshops, and guidance.

Feel free to ask if you’d like to set up a meeting with us at renato.sotelo@msubuhfoundation.org

Looking forward to hearing from you and your project!
