South African Women’s Rights organisations are invited to apply for funding under the Government of Canada Women Voice and Leadership-South Africa Fund (WVL SA). The initiative arises from Canada’s Feminist International Assistance Policy (FIAP) addressing six main elements: i) promoting gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls; ii) human dignity; iii) growth that works for everyone; iv) environment and climate action; v) inclusive governance; vi) peace and security. Eligibility criteria can be found here. The grant call is managed by Gender Links through its GL Services portfolio.
About the Grant Calls
The WVL-SA Fund offers three types of Grants. Please download the Word documents and fill them in first. You will find these under each Call.
- Multi Year Core Funding – four year grants of R500,000 – R1 million reviewed annually for organisations in Gauteng, Limpopo, Western Cape and KwaZulu-Natal with an annual income of less than R 1 million.
- Networking and Alliance Building – four year grants of R500,000 – R1.3 million reviewed annually for organisations anywhere in South Africa that build networks and alliances.
- Rapid Response Grants of three months to one year of R20,000 to R50,000 for an urgent, catalytic need.
- For each grant, you must first fill out the eligibility form to see if you are eligible for the grant. You can find this under each grant call.
- If you are eligible, you will receive a link for the Concept Note for the Multi Year Core (MY Core) Funding, and the Networking and Alliance Building. In the case of the Rapid Response you will receive a link for the Full Application, as this is a one stage process.
