Humanitarian Innovation Fund’s call for proposals is to support organizations and individuals to identify, nurture and share innovative solutions to the challenges facing operational agencies in the delivery of effective humanitarian aid.
As innovation is taking prominence in international humanitarian system, it has high potential to bring about positive change. Humanitarian Innovation Fund is working to support humanitarian innovators to move creative ideas through innovation process, build partnerships, disseminate lessons learned and strengthen existing relations ships between humanitarian agencies, academics and those in the private sector engaged in innovation processes.
There are two grant types: Small grants facility for projects up to £20,000 for a period of 6 months and large grants for projects up to £150,000 for a period of 18 months.
The Fund encourages consortia applications that bring together a range of actors and draw a relevant diversity of knowledge, experience and expertise. The consortia should be led by either (a) a non-profit institution such as a non-governmental organization; (b) a public or governmental institution; (c) an academic or research institution.
Applicants that are not part of a consortium must be able to demonstrate that they can fully satisfy all requirements of both the ‘Lead Applicant’ and ‘Consortia requirements’. Single entity applicants must also demonstrate significant effort to engage with a broader audience/stakeholder community through their project implementation and dissemination plan.

Seriani girl child is a registered cbo operating in Kenya
with the main goal of supporting women and girl child who are most vulnerable to no access to education .
This organization was started to empower women and the girl child to achieve education and their desirable goals.
our main objectives is to create awareness on HIV/AIDS and home based care,empowering the girl child on social, moral, physical and educational rights;in the essence that the girl child has the right to socialize,not to be abused sexually,and not to be forced to early marriages and female genital mutilation(fgm)and more so the girl child has rights to pursue education to higher levels. This can not be achieved without involving the women who are the primary and the key role models to girl child.hence,our organization also empowers women to invest their time and interest to understand their rights and roles in the community.
despite all this, we have the will to spearhead our objectives as an organization but we do have enough funds to support our activities.
The organization therefore wishes to apply for some monetary support from your organization so that it can facilitate its operations and achieve its goals.In other words, we request you to help us financially.
Best regards,
