Bloomberg Philanthropies’ Global Grants Program

Deadline: 17-Feb-25

The Bloomberg Philanthropies Data for Health (D4H) Initiative Global Grants Program (GGP) has launched a new round of funding for projects in the area of Civil Registration and Vital Statistics (CRVS) and Data Use.

This funding call includes an optional focus on Digital Strategies for CRVS Systems Strengthening and Data Use. Digital strategies are poised to bridge gaps in global health equity and they welcome applications that also choose to focus on this theme within CRVS and Data Use, including but not limited to the following examples:

  • Digitalizing CRVS systems for improved birth and death registration processes
  • Establishing interoperability between CRVS systems, health, and/or access to public and private services such as ID
  • Well-designed dashboards
  • Data portals
  • Interactive reports
Funding Limits and Timeframe
  • The GGP will support grant periods of up to 15 months with a maximum award amount of $100,000; shorter-term grants with lower award amounts are also encouraged. Sustainability measures must be incorporated into the project design. Applicants should plan to start their projects on or about June 1st.

Please note that international NGOs and multilateral agencies are not eligible to apply, but are urged to encourage government partners to apply directly for funding.
  • Former focus countries within the D4H Initiative are not eligible for additional grants after they have reached the funding cap.
