We are thrilled to announce that our turnaround times have continued to improve and we are now offering expedited requests for both new and renewal EDs. As always, this expedited timeline depends on an NGO’s ability to submit the questionnaire and any relevant updates within 1 week of receiving the invitation. Please see below for the latest estimated turnaround times for ED requests:
- For expedited new and renewal EDs, we are averaging a 3-week turnaround.
- For non-expedited new EDs, we are averaging a 7-week turnaround.
- For non-expedited renewal EDs, we are averaging a 4-week turnaround.
Please note that our turnaround time for new EDs is still slightly delayed, as NGO operations continue to be impacted by the pandemic. For this reason, we suggest that our members plan for a 7-9-week turnaround time for new EDs. We are able to complete many EDs sooner than these projections, but only when the NGOs are able to promptly provide the requested information. We encourage you to work with your grantees to submit their questionnaires and supporting documents as soon as they are able to do so.
Please reach out to us at accountsupport@ngosource.org if you are looking for suggestions on how to support your grantees through the ED process.
