Overview

The grants will help fund organisations to:

  • become more confident, more knowledgeable, and more skilled in tackling FGM within their communities;
  • improve their skills in engaging with, and lobbying, statutory bodies to encourage appropriate responses to FGM;
  • contribute to a unified movement across the UK bringing together a range of organisations engaged in tackling FGM.

In Round 5 they will exclusively support applications from organisations within the following categories:

  • Those engaging with and providing support to newly arrived communities;
  • Supporting previous recipients of Rosa’s FGM Small Grants to continue their work beyond the life of the programme and to become sustainable.

Within these categories, they particularly welcome proposals:

  • that will take place in areas with little coordinated activity aimed at tackling FGM;
  • targeting a range of affected communities;
  • that will use and promote rights-based strategies;
  • that will involve working with diverse sections of the community, e.g. men, religious leaders, young people, older people.

Grants can be used towards training, research, mentoring, networking, and the delivery of advice, awareness-raising, and support. Grants can meet any costs relating to your proposed activity.
