The goal of this programme is to support the grassroots organisations that already exist and are developing that are headed by individuals who have lived experience and their closest allies. New Venture Fund provides financial sponsorship for Ignite.
Through enabling those who have experienced CSV and their allies to address the root causes of this sort of violence, the Thrive Together programme aims to combat CSV. Thrive Together works to invest in organisations, enhancing their collective and individual capacities, developing their relationships to the larger movement working to end sexual violence against children (SVAC), and removing any barriers that limit their influence in order to address this issue.
What method will they employ?
- The programme provides flexible funding in the form of 10 one-year grants of up to $20,000, with the option, if necessary, of an extension at no additional cost of up to two years. If their initiatives are in line with the program’s guiding principles, which include:
- Demonstrating a thorough comprehension of the requirements of those who are impacted by CSV in their particular setting
- Putting the money to good use by enhancing their group’s and organization’s CSV efforts.
- Willingness to engage with people in the industry and contribute their knowledge and ideas in ways that are consistent with their mission and vision, for which the Ignite team will create opportunities.
- Putting the wellbeing of their workers, volunteers, and all others first
In what do they invest?
- The grants can be used in a variety of ways, including for training, mental health care, equipment, salaries, travel, and other things that an organisation requires for its operations and to build its capacities. The supported organisations will receive funding to meet organisational needs as well as the chance to learn, build their organisational capacity, share, and connect with other organisations around the world working in the CSV sector.
Where are they financed?
- The Thrive Together (in its first edition) wants to address financial disparities by offering this programme to some locations where there are few funding options of this kind, despite the fact that they are aware that these problems affect communities all over the world.
- They concentrate especially on areas where certain socioeconomic and political circumstances violently affect children disproportionately, giving them few opportunities to recover from trauma and grow. As a result, organisations from the Middle East and North Africa, South Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, and Eastern Europe are eligible to participate in the programme.
