After confirming your eligibility, a new dialogue box will open with PLEASE COPY AND PASTE THIS LINK INTO YOUR BROWSER prompt. Copy and paste the link into your browser to access the online application form.

Please ensure that you have all documentation ready to fill in the form. Take note of the following requirement:

  1. Proof of non-governmental and non-profit legal status – we appreciate that not all organisations will meet this requirement, and if this is the case, you will be asked to provide a brief overview of why this is the case; this can be due to repressive legislation that limits the registration of advocacy groups or groups representing the interests of specific key populations. The non-availability of a formal registration document in this context above will not affect funding decisions.
  2. Information on your governance – This means you must have a structure that makes decisions about the work of the group/organisation or movement and these decisions recorded in writing and signed. This group of people is sometimes called a Board of Directors.
  3. Information about how you manage your finances – we will ask you to provide records of how you manage your organisations finances. This can be in the form of an audited financial statement and it can also be a detailed record of money received and money spent.
  4. Information about your team – this can be a list of the people on your team and what they do in the organisation. This includes the person who is overally responsible for the work of the organisation, the person who keeps records of the funds, the person who implements the activities, the person who manages your finances and any other person who works in the team towards your goals.
  5. A list of donations or funds that you have received since 2020
  6. Any reports you have produced for previously funded projects or letters of recommendation from your partners testifying to the work you have done in your country
  7. Any tools or templates you use to see if you are making progress in your work. These can be monthly reports or meeting reports for example.
