GRANTS
Economic Opportunities Sub-Fund
The Alliance for Gender Equality in Europe is providing a total of €3,470,000 in two-year grants, supporting 26 small and medium-sized frontline organisations in 16 countries with individual grants of up to €150,000, along with opportunities for networking, peer learning, and organisational development. This sub-fund was launched to improve economic inclusion, which is still one of the main challenges to achieving gender equality in Europe. Through this fund, the Alliance aims to support community-driven, gender-transformative solutions.
Opportunity and Emergency Grants
The Alliance provides a small number of grants each year as rapid response funding that allows organisations to take advantage of emerging opportunities or respond to urgent challenges. Opportunity grants provide timely support to organisations advancing gender equality in an ever-changing political, economic, and social context and bring emergency funding where it is needed most due to risk of closure, attacks from anti-gender movements or other crises.
