Description
The Roma Initiatives Office invites Roma and pro-Roma organizations, and nonformal groups, networks, or individuals from Albania, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, and Spain to apply for urgent-action grants of up to $15,000, provided that they meet certain conditions. We support timely actions and opportunities that promote structural change for the benefit of Roma or respond to anti-Roma events and trends.
Eligibility
- Unexpected and time-sensitive: The action is a response to a specific event, social situation, or an opportunity that could not have been
predicted and that requires immediate reaction.
- Strategic and policy-relevant: While we do not expect policy change to happen within a short time, the proposed action must be designed with
a perspective for change in policies, practices, or public discourse in the long term. The action should be based on a strategy that would allow
for adjustments according to new needs or shifts in the context.
- Roma-centered: While it is not necessary for the applicant organization to be a Roma NGO*, applicants must demonstrate Roma leadership or
partnership on an equal footing in all phases of the action. Roma should also benefit from the policy change targeted with the action.
- Location: The action must respond to an opportunity or crisis taking place in one of the eligible countries: Albania, Bulgaria, the Czech
Republic, Hungary, Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, or Spain.
Budget
- Grants up to $15,000
Deadline: Open
