Funding opportunities for grassroots organisations: Open call for LEAD grants

The Open Call for Local Empowerment for Advocacy Development (LEAD) Grants offers an exceptional opportunity for grassroots organisations to strengthen their advocacy capacities and promote meaningful social change. These grants aim to support organisations working to address systemic issues affecting marginalised communities.

LEAD grants provide funding for a wide range of activities, including research, policy development, advocacy training and mobilisation campaigns. By empowering grassroots organisations, these grants enable them to amplify the voices of the communities they represent and influence the policies and practices that affect their lives.

The application process is competitive and eligible organisations are encouraged to submit proposals that demonstrate a strong understanding of community needs, well-defined advocacy strategies and a proven track record of impact. Grants vary in size, depending on the scope and impact of the proposed project.

In addition to funding, LEAD grant recipients will also have access to technical training, mentoring and networking support. This ensures that organisations have the resources and knowledge they need to implement effective and sustainable advocacy projects.

The LEAD Open Call for Grants is a transformative opportunity for grassroots organisations to make a difference in their communities. By strengthening the advocacy capacities of these organisations, we can create a more just and equitable society for all.

We therefore strongly encourage grassroots organisations that meet the eligibility criteria to apply for these grants. Together, we can build a better future for our communities and ensure that the voices of the marginalised are heard.
