Deadline: 21-Jun-21
filia is inviting applications from refugee and migrant women, inter*, trans*, queer and non-binary refugees and migrants for its Empowerment Program.
What activities filia support?
The funding is for groups committed to self-organization. For example, your focus could be on participation, activism, networking, rights, individual and collective development. Activities might be political actions or campaigns, community work or peer-to-peer workshops.
It is important to filia that you tackle the roots of problems, not only the symptoms of inequality and oppression. filia supports groups promoting structural change in society.
This means initiatives and projects “only” focusing on individual support/ therapy/ etc. are not the main target here. You know that these activities are important. Often, they are also part of political organizing. But they should not be the only kind of activity.
Funding Information
- The grant can be used for general operating costs and specific projects: Tickets/ petrol, food, rent, allowances/salaries, child care, translation, printing costs, technical or other materials, apply for what you need money for!
Eligibility criteria
- In this program, filia supports self-led groups in Germany by newcomer, refugee and migrant women, inter*, trans*, queer and non-binary refugees and migrants.
- This means that various people or groups might also participate – but refugee and migrant women* decide and are the focus of groups and activities.
- filia can only support organizations registered as non-profit (e.g. Verein). If you are not a Verein, you can work together with one – best one you already know – and apply through them. If you can’t find one, they try to support you. Please contact us about this before you send us your application.
- You know that in small towns, rural areas and Eastern regions the situation for refugee and migrant women* is additionally difficult. They especially invite groups from there to apply!
