Grant Amount: €5, 000 - €25, 000

What do we wish to fund?
Proposals with innovative project ideas that promote empowerment and focus on underrepresented groups within the following Voice rightsholder groups;
- People with disabilities
- Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) people
- Indigenous people and ethnic minorities
- Vulnerable elderly and youth
- Women facing exploitation, abuse and/or violence
Voice has a strong preference for projects that are designed from an intersectional point of view. This means projects should aim to work with the intersection of two or more of the above groups to address overlapping vulnerabilities and/or forms of discrimination. For example, if the project aims to work with persons with disabilities, it is also possible to consider engaging women with disabilities, indigenous youth with disabilities, LGBTI with disabilities, and others.
All projects MUST focus on at least one or all of the following impact themes:
- Improved access to (productive) resources such as land, water and employment,
- Improved access to social services, particularly health and education, and
- Fostering space for political participation and citizen engagement
