Deadline: 9-Jun-23
The New England Association for Colombian Children’s (NEACOL) is offering grants to support programs that contribute to the improvement of the living conditions of Colombian children in need.
NEACOL’s grant program addresses three broad areas that are aligned with its mission: health, education and nutrition. The 2023 Call for Proposals will prioritize funding to organizations in 2024 that directly address children’s nutritional needs.
Funding Information
- NEACOL may award grants of up to $10,000.00 USD, contingent upon funds raised during 2023, and depending on the scope of the project.
- This grant program is highly competitive because funding is very limited. Organizations funded will need to execute supported project(s) with a start date of January 2, 2024.
Eligibility Criteria
- This call is open for children up to 17 years of age.
- Stand-alone programs within umbrella organizations may be eligible for capacity-building support, if they meet the following criteria:
- Located in highly vulnerable and impoverished regions with high rates of acute malnutrition.
- Eligibility is limited to established nonprofit agencies located in Colombia that serve Colombian children.
- Based on the results from the research for 2023, eligible organizations should be working in the area of nutrition and Neacol will prioritize organizations that:
- Have limited access to supporting nutrition programs
- The umbrella organization provides the non-profit (501(c)3) status, but not more.
- The program has a separate budget and must raise its own funds to cover its expenses. (The umbrella organization may cover a small proportion of the administrative costs.)
- There is a letter agreement or memorandum of understanding between the program and the umbrella organization.
- The program is central to the mission of the umbrella organization and serves a substantial number of its target population.
Ineligible
- Consequently, grants will not be awarded to the following types of applicants and programs:
- Private individuals
- Programs that serve children outside of Colombia
- Programs that serve sectarian or religious purposes
- Programs that serve political purposes
