UN Trust Fund to End Violence Against Women – Call for Proposals

The UN Trust Fund to End Violence Against Women issues an annual Call for Proposals to support multi-year initiatives that prevent and respond to gender-based violence. Grants of up to USD 1 million are awarded to civil society organizations that demonstrate innovative, scalable, and sustainable approaches to ending violence against women and girls. The Fund prioritizes proposals that reach large numbers of beneficiaries and contribute to national-level change.

• Eligible applicants must be legally registered civil society organizations with a proven track record in preventing or responding to violence against women and girls. Proposals must be submitted in English, French, or Spanish and demonstrate potential for national-level impact, scalability, and sustainability. The application process involves two rounds: concept note submission and full proposal development for shortlisted candidates.
