Deadline: 31 July 2015
Elevate Children funders have established a pooled fund of approximately $325,000 for Post 2015 Advocacy. The purpose of the fund is to support advocacy and communications related to the Post 2015 Development Agenda, with the goal of securing the strongest possible language relating to VaC in the final documents.
The Elevate Children Funders Group (ECFG) was founded in 2011 by a group of private foundations working collectively in order to make key challenges facing children and youth a more significant global priority. With a focus on violence against children and alternative care/family strengthening, the group works at both international and national levels to build a stronger evidence base, strengthen advocates’ leadership and communication efforts, and mobilise more resources to support proven interventions.
Size of Grants
Organizations can apply for grants between $5,000 and $100,000.
Goals
- prevent and protect children from violence
