Description
The Democracy Commission Small Grants Program is designed to support initiatives that contribute to open and competitive political systems and to the protection of human rights.
For this NOFO, the Embassy is seeking project proposals that support bolstering civil society and advance tolerance, diversity, and inclusion within Montenegrin society.
Project proposals should contribute to one of the priority areas stated below:
- Protection of human rights and promotion of tolerance, especially among youth
- Ethnic minority, LGBTQi, and gender equality
- Women’s empowerment in the political and economic sphere
- Bolstering civil society
Projects may include various elements, including, for example, strategic policy engagements, advocacy, communication campaigns targeting key audiences, capacity building trainings, workshops, hackathons, cultural programming, hands-on activities requiring follow-on actions from project participants, and community initiatives.
We encourage quality, sustainable proposals that target underserved communities, especially in economically disadvantaged areas of the country that have struggled with out-migration in recent years.
