In the current crisis caused by the COVID-19, lesbian communities find themselves in particularly precarious situations. In order to respond to this urgency, EL*C is providing small grants to lesbian groups that are in urgent need of financial support due to the Covid-19 crisis.

Small grants are intended only for lesbian led groups in Europe and Central Asia, that are working primarily on supporting and advancing the position of lesbian communities. Lesbian groups can be registered and not-registered. These grants are not intended to support individual applicants.

• Small grants can only be used in response to the Covid-19 crises, which may include:
• Direct support and services to the lesbian community (such as food, shelter, psychosocial support, etc.);
• Advocacy activities (such as advocating for Covid-19 response measures that are inclusive of lesbian needs and interests);
• Communication and campaigning activities (such as social media campaigns, press clipping, online tools, etc);
• Operating costs (such as office costs, rent, utilities, etc);

Funding Information

Grants can range from 500 EUR up to 3000 EUR.
