BEARR will soon be inviting applications for its 2023 Small Grants Scheme.
In 2022, the focus of much of BEARR’s work has been on Ukraine and Moldova, with the Ukraine Emergency Appeal at the forefront of our activities. Next year, the main Small Grants Scheme will focus on other countries with which we work, with another scheme reserved for applicants in Ukraine and Moldova.
It has been part of BEARR’s long-term mission to foster cooperation and partnerships, in the belief that this is fundamental to the operation of successful civil society organisations (CSOs).
For 2023, we are inviting applications for up to £4,000 for joint projects that promote the long-term partnership between two or more CSOs supporting vulnerable people in any area of health or social welfare. Applications are welcome from CSOs in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan or Uzbekistan.
No grants can be made at present to Russian and Belarusian CSOs because of difficulties transferring funds to those countries.
We will also be inviting separate applications for up to £1,000 from existing grantees in Ukraine and Moldova for projects aimed at building organisational resilience. These grants are separate to our Emergency Appeal (which will continue to fund the distribution of humanitarian aid) and are designated specifically to support activities that improve the welfare of staff and volunteers, as well as to improve the organisation’s resilience.
Application forms and instructions on how to apply will be issued before Christmas. Please keep an eye on our website for further details.
