The Web We Want is making a limited number of small grants available to
support national advocacy and campaigning efforts to make the web free,
open, socially relevant and accessible to all. Applications from non-profit
groups in the Global South will be prioritised. View a list of previous
small grants recipients
here<https://webwewant.org/small-grants-recipients/>
.
Please note we can NOT fund the development or implementation of
applications, software, computer equipment, computer literacy training,
technology start-ups, hubs etc. These grants are ONLY for advocacy,
campaigning and influencing activities.
*We are currently accepting applications in the following category:*
1. *Rapid Response (deadline: open, rolling)
<https://webwewant.org/2013-grant-funding-round/#rapid>*
Micro-grants designed to help when you face an unexpected crisis or
strategic opportunity that demands more resources fast.
Eligibility and How to Apply
We request that before applying for a grant, that you join the *Web We Want
mailing list <https://webwewant.org/what-is-the-web-we-want#mailinglist>*,
where you will receive regular updates about the wider network of national,
regional and global campaigns for a free, open and accessible web and news
from the Web We Want campaign. If you have any questions please* contact
us. <https://webwewant.org/contact-us/>*
We encourage* applications from
<https://webwewant.org/application-form-for-2013-small-grants-round/>*a
broad and diverse range of groups and organisations, around the world, but
resources are limited and we will not be able to fund every application
that we receive during this first round. Priority will go to non-profit
organisations in the global South and to those who show that they have the
partnerships and follow-up mechanisms needed to reach, influence and
mobilise others in their country.
Applications will be reviewed by a sub-committee of the Web We Want
Advisory Committee, the subcommittee will make a recommendation to the Web
We Want coordinators, whose decision is final.
Rapid Response applications will take 5 working days to process, from
receipt of your application to final decision. Surveillance Action Research
and Capacity Building grants will take 14 working days to process, from
receipt of your application to final decision.
If you are successful, we’ll try to transfer the funds to you within a few
days of approving your application. Please make sure that you include
complete and correct bank details (including IBAN number) in your
application form – otherwise, we can’t guarantee that we’ll be able to
process funds quickly.
All successful grant applicants will be listed publicly, with a brief
description of project the grant is supporting on *webwewant.org,
<http://www.webwewant.org/>* unless the grant applicant shows that this
would put the project at risk.
Grant recipients must complete the evaluation form provided by Web We Want
at end of the grant period (which is self-defined in the fund application
form). The evaluation will be used to describe how the grant was used, and
report on the success or learnings from the work that the grant supported.
A positive, negative or neutral evaluation will not have any impact on
grant dispersal, as funds will be transferred in full at the beginning of
the project.
If your application is not successful, we’ll tell you why. Rejection of a
grant application does not preclude an organisation from applying for a
grant again in the future.
