The Global Fund receives over 3,000 proposals a year and is able to award about 600 grants annually. Due to the large number of applications we receive, please allow seven to nine months to review your request. We accept applications throughout the year and award grants every three months. We will send you a note of receipt within three weeks of receiving your application. Thank you!

We have three types of grants:

1. General Support Grants

These are flexible, small grants to cover general operating and project expenses.

• A group may only have one proposal of any type under consideration at a given time.
• Amount granted may be less than the amount requested if and when an award is made.
