Outlining Available Emergency Funding for the International Aid Sector
More than a year since Covid-19 swept the world, the effects can be felt across every sector. The international development sector in particular faces it’s biggest funding crisis yet, with 40% of NGOs facing closure in the next six months, alongside an increased demand on services.
To support the sector during this pandemic, the team here at IG Voluntary have identified some key sources of funding that international aid charities and NGOs can access to help to ensure that they are able to support their local communities through this ongoing crisis. Please just click on the hyperlinked titles to be taken through to the relevant funding page.

Project Grants up to £50,000 are available for small UK registered voluntary organisations for projects focused on addressing the Global Goals. The deadline for application is 25th February 2021.
The Tech Coalition Safe Online Research Fund

Ongoing funding support is available for projects that align with JTI’s Foundation’s mission of transforming lives affected by disaster.
