Deadline: 31 May 2018
Applicants are invited to apply for the Innovation Seed grant program which is launched by the Bridge for CSOs Programme implemented by Armenian General Benevolent Union in partnership with Eurasia Partnership Foundation and funded by the European Union.
The global objective of the action is to strengthen and build the capacity of Armenian civil society to effectively contribute to decision making processes in Armenia. The specific objective is to improve organisational capacities of CSOs to better respond to citizen’s needs.
The Innovation Seed Grant Call is designed to support CSOs, as well as non-registered initiatives or groups serving the public good, working to ensure tangible social impact for communities and enrichment of life circumstances of their beneficiaries. CSOs registered and operating in Armenia as well as informal initiative groups (with significant track record) that are working to advance their missions, serve their communities and improve services to their beneficiaries through public engagement and sustainable models of service delivery are encouraged to apply.
Funding Information
- Bridge for CSOs Programme will support 8-14 grant projects with funding ranging from AMD 3,000,000 to AMD 9,000,000. Organisations with little grant management experience are encouraged to apply for minimal funding.
- Projects should be designed to run up to 12 (twelve) months.
Eligibility Criteria
- The call is open to CSOs and initiative groups with no mandatory legal registration. It is important to note that initiative groups should also have track record of implementing projects and carrying out certain initiatives in order to be eligible for this grant call. Initiative groups that do not have track record and experience in dealing with the proposed idea/project should not apply as these projects will not be considered for funding.
- The call is also look for original and creative partnerships – and particularly those, which bring people from different organizations, sectors, backgrounds and communities together, and which show the power of collaboration and teamwork.
- The call is also interested to hear from organisations who have never received a grant of this kind before or currently are not involved in managing EU grants. Those organisations that have difficulty accessing funding or have previously been rejected to receive funding due to organisational capacities but have good ideas are encouraged to apply.
