This funding opportunity is available only for “small” UK-based not for profit organizations.
The Innovation Window funding is part of DFID’s Global Poverty Action Fund (GPAF) aimed to fund poverty reduction initiatives that are ground-breaking and new. Civil society organizations can submit innovative proposals that deliver real benefits for men, women, boys and girls. These may be small scale service delivery projects but should emphasise learning to allow scaling up. Innovation grants will encourage potentially higher rewards from ground-breaking work.
Proposals can be submitted with proposed funding of up to a total value of £250,000. These may be small scale service delivery projects but should emphasise learning to allow scaling up. Innovation grants will encourage potentially higher rewards from ground-breaking work.
Only small UK-based, non-governmental, not-for-profit groups with an average annual income of less than £500,000 for the past three years can apply for this funding opportunity.
There will be two funding rounds under this window and organizations can apply with two proposals under each funding.
Projects can be submitted for DFID focal countries and also for the bottom 50 Human Development Index countries.
Organizations which are actively involved in proselytizing, encouraging activities that may lead to civil unrest, linked to any terrorist organizations and practice any type of discrimination based on gender, disability, race, colour, ethnicity, religion etc. cannot apply. Also, think thanks, academic institutions, research organizations, DFID’s PPA partners, governmental and inter-governmental organizations and organizations outside of the UK cannot apply for this funding.
The deadline to submit proposals under this funding window is 14 December 2010. For more information, visit this link.
The Impact Window funding under GPAF is flexible and accepts applications from organizations outside of the UK. To know more, visit this link.
