The Fund makes annual grant announcements
The UN Trust Fund to End Violence against Women (UN Trust Fund) addresses violence against women and girls in all its forms. Initiatives that demonstrate that VAWG can be systematically addressed, reduced and, with persistence, eliminated are supported with grant funding to implement their projects. The Fund focuses on supporting the implementation of national and local laws, policies and action plans by expanding the quality and quantity of support available for on‐the‐ground implementation of effective programs.
Large civil society organizations and governments can make grant request in between $300,000 and $1 million total for duration of two to three years. Small civil society organizations, especially grassroots women’s organizations and youth-led organizations can make minimum grant request of $50,000 for duration of two years. Budgets must be based on the proposed project and take into consideration the organization’s operational and absorptive capacity.
