Deadline: 31 October 2017
GoPhilanthropic Foundation has announced a call for proposals for its Seed Grants to provide a source of small grants that organizations can access for collaborative work against trafficking in Nepal.
GoPhilanthropic Foundation’s mission is to identify, invest and strengthen the impact of already existing, community-based organizations providing access to education, health and basic human rights in impoverished communities around the world.
Funds Can Be Used For:
- These are intended to be small grants and the maximum grant size will be US $3,000 (approximately Nepalese Rupees 3 lakhs).
- Projects proposed can cover any aspect of anti-trafficking work (for example, prevention, protection, rehabilitation, advocacy, research etc.).
- This program promotes a strong focus on collaboration and innovation and the proposal must be for two or more organizations to work together. An application can be submitted by one single organization but it must be for a project that involves clear collaboration with at least one other organization.
- There will be a focus on learning and sharing so all successful organizations will be expected to participate in various sharing activities during the project period, including a meeting of all participating organizations at the end of the project cycle (July 2018)
- The projects are intended to be quick projects which take a maximum of six months to complete. It is expected that the grants will be received in January 2018 so the work must be completed by July 2018 at the latest.
- Since trafficking is such a huge issue in Nepal, priority would be given to new and innovative collaborative approaches to tackle this issue.
Eligibility Criteria
- Participating organizations must be registered with the Nepalese authorities and be able to receive funds from overseas (USA).
- Participating organizations must have a genuine desire to share information and cross- learn with others – the focus of these grants is on collaboration.
