Organization: Search for Common Ground

Deadline: Applications are accepted on a rolling basis with no deadline

Language: English, Spanish, French

Grant Size : 

  • Small grants ($500 to $24,999; 3 months or less): Support for specific and time-bound WPS activities, which may include: travel for key activities, one-off convenings, and material goods and services, including consultancies. Under this stream, funds will not be issued directly to the applicant. Rather, Search for Common Ground will procure the goods and services and then provide these as in-kind assistance to the (formal or informal) women’s groups.

  • Medium grants ($25,000 to $99,999; from 3 to 9 months): Grants for quick-impact initiatives by registered local groups, which may include: emerging opportunities to advance WPS or projects in closing spaces to protect women’s rights and safety. 

  • Large grants ($100,000 to $250,000; from 9 to 12 months): Grants for longer-term efforts by larger formal organizations. We envision only a small number of awards under this stream.”

Description: Through our Search country teams we partner with women-led and women-serving organizations who are operating at pivotal moments—whether the closure of political space, the fresh start of negotiations, or a chance to step into leadership roles. Across Cameroon, the Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Guatemala, Kyrgyzstan, Lebanon, Somalia, Uzbekistan, and Yemen, in-country Search teams partner with highly localized women-led organizations unable to access donor funds through classic granting mechanisms. Coupling bespoke training modules on technical and thematic topics with small grant schemes, SHE WINS country programming elevates a new wave of women-led organizations to break through the usual funding barriers and increase the impact of the Women, Peace and Security agenda in their countries.
