What does SOND mean in DEVELOPMENT

SOND stands for Social Organizations Networking for Development. It is a network-based initiative that facilitates collaboration among social organizations from around the world in order to promote their advancement, growth and sustainability.

By joining SOND, social organizations have access to a variety of resources and support such as information sharing, volunteer recruitment, contact building and funding opportunities. Additionally, by engaging in collaborative activities through this platform, organizations can increase their bench strength and broaden outreach capabilities.

In order to become part of the SOND network, an organization must be a registered non-profit or charity with an active board of directors. Furthermore, it must demonstrate commitment to advancing its mission within its local community and provide evidence of positive impact in the areas it serves.

Organizations can apply online by submitting an online application form along with supporting documents such as registration documents or Annual Reports. Once submitted, the application will be reviewed by SOND's Admissions Committee which will then decide if admission into the network should be granted or not.

No registration fee is required when applying to join SOND; however successful applicants may need to pay an annual membership fee once they become part of the network depending on their chosen subscription plan. This fee helps cover costs associated with onboarding new members into the network as well as providing ongoing support services.
