“I would like to thank Silo who played a very important role in my fundraising campaign towards my accommodation deposit. They connected me with all potential donors and made my campaign successful in just 7 days. I received constant support from Silo staff and a big help from other groups to make my campaign successful. Thank you Silo!”
“Using Silo, I was able to discover new scholarships and grants that I never knew about before. I can be more sure of my funding opportunities when I apply for my PhD!”
