The CIVICUS Solidarity Fund (CSF) 2022 ($ 10,000 IN Funding)

16 September 2022 is the deadline

The CIVICUS Solidarity Fund (CSF) 2022 is now accepting applications. The CSF is a member-led and member-resourced fund that attempts to foster diversity and resilience in civil society while also attempting to offer significant resources and help to members who are in need through flexible grants.

16 September 2022 is the deadline

The fund is available to CIVICUS members who typically find it difficult to access resources and support because of limitations in the environment in which they operate, their organizational characteristics (unregistered, recently established organizations, etc.), or simply because of who they are and the issues they address: small CSOs (both formal and informal), individual activists, movements, especially those that come from historically oppressed and marginalized groups, early-stage social advocates, and social entrepreneurs.

Encourage diversity and resiliency in civil society, particularly among smaller, informal actors;
Create chances for change-seeking actors to contribute to a more fair, inclusive, and sustainable world where none currently exists.
Funding

Requests for funding should range from $1,000 to $10,000 USD.
