Crisis Response Fund Program Small, Medium-sized Grassroots Organizations and individuals

Crisis Response Fund Program Small, Medium-sized Grassroots Organizations and individuals; The Fund defines ‘crisis’ broadly, encompassing humanitarian crises, human rights crises, protection crises, health crises, climate-related crises, and other complex emergencies. As part of the broader Queer Forced Displacement Initiative, the Fund’s core understanding of ‘crisis’ focuses on situations that have caused, or are likely to cause forced displacement of LGBTQI+ persons or communities. This includes crises and crackdowns specifically targeting LGBTQI+ communities and broader crises with a disproportionate impact on LGBTQI+ communities.

The Fund is dedicated to supporting LGBTQI+ grassroots organizations across the following regions:

Middle East & North Africa (MENA)

Horn of Africa and the Great Lakes

West Africa

Central & Southern Africa

The Americas

Eastern Europe and

Asia and the Pacific

The Fund invites applications for projects that address displacement-producing crises by mitigating some of the drivers of displacement and by strengthening existing support structures for LGBTQI+ people in crisis.

The Fund will support initiatives aimed at supporting people at high risk of displacement, and/or supporting those who are already displaced, through three core granting streams:

Funding Stream A: Crisis & Emergency Response Services Grant

Funding Stream B: Crisis Capacity Building Grant

Funding Stream C: Crisis Advocacy Grant

Funding Stream A: Crisis & Emergency Response Services Grant

Community and grassroots organizations can apply for funding to support emergency response to LGBTQI+ communities during a crisis. This may include:

Small grants to help organizations enhance their capacity during ongoing or anticipated crises (contingency planning);

Funding to provide critical services such as shelters, queer safe accommodation, food, medical supplies, and other support for LGBTQI+ individuals and families fleeing conflict or crisis situations;

Grants to support the provision of essential services to individuals facing violence due to their sexual orientation or gender identity.

The Fund also allows for targeted grants to organizations facilitating emergency pathways for LGBTQI+ individuals in a crisis. Organizations can apply for funding to establish safe houses, cover short-term rent for transitional accommodations, and support short-term staffing costs for crisis operations. This grant will also assist in urgent relocations of high-risk individuals within or outside an impacted country. It will also support escape

routes during government or police crackdowns and emergency transportation to safer areas.

The Fund will prioritize supporting the needs of the most vulnerable LGBTQI+ communities, including trans and other gender-diverse people, LGBTQI+ refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs).

By addressing urgent needs in an emerging or ongoing crisis, the Fund seeks to promote resilience, provide critical support and promote recovery for LGBTQI+ individuals during challenging times.
