Focus / Priorities
- The Small Grants Program only funds proposals that contain accurate and well-developed implementation plans and clear explanations of how the project goals will be achieved, where those goals address the Program’s themes and priorities.
- The Program prefers to support complete projects instead of individual activities such as one-time conferences, publications, or round tables. A complete project involves a sequence of coherent events, logically interwoven and linked in time, designed to achieve specific goals within a particular time frame, focusing on target audiences, and leading to concrete and measurable results that will directly benefit the local community.
- The time frame for the project should be appropriate to the project activities and should not exceed 12 months.
- Project proposals should be submitted on the standardized application form and be modest in size (up to 6 pages in Times New Roman font 12).
