2011 Small Grants
Reflecting the current financial status of
the Fund, and the desire to quickly ensure that available funding was passed
onto victims, the Board unanimously agreed to the establishment of the 2011
Small Grants Facility (SGF). The SGF aims to provide tangible support, through
established channels, to victims of trafficking in persons. The design of the
Small Grants Facility drew from lessons learned from a pilot project hosted
under the auspices of UN.GIFT.
Key
Facts of the 2011 SGF
The 2011 Small Grants Facility will accept project proposals from eligible not-for-profit, non-governmental organizations (NGOs). NGOs can submit applications on behalf of a coalition (more than 4 organizations), a consortium (minimum of 2 other organizations and a maximum of 4), but the NGO will be the primary focal point and will be financially responsible for the delivery of the grant.
Applicants may request grants of up to USD 25,000 per year, for project proposals ranging between 6 and 36 months. All applications must be submitted in English.
The Small Grants Facility 2011 will be launched on 8 March 2011 and will close on 30 April 2011 at 24:00 CET.
Thematic
Priorities
In 2011, two thematic priorities have been established:
-
Cross-border and inter-regional activities providing direct
humanitarian, legal and/or financial assistance to victims.
- Effective remedies for victims of human trafficking, including, but not limited to, legal support, access to justice and compensation.
All proposals must focus on either one or both of the above-listed thematic priorities. If an application fails to respond to at least one of the two thematic priorities, it will be ineligible to receive funding.
