Diaspora Humanitarian Partnership Programme – Grants opportunity

What is the Diaspora Humanitarian Partnership Programme?

Through the Diaspora Humanitarian Partnership Programme, we are piloting ways to discover how to broaden and deepen our relationships with diaspora groups in the UK. The grant programme, outlined below, is aimed at engaging with diaspora communities.

Grant opportunity

We are offering small (up to £5,000) to medium-size grants (up to £30,000) to diaspora focused organisations for their humanitarian and/or social work either in the UK or in response to crises abroad. The grants aim to focus on developing and strengthening the organisations' capacities and/or existing activities.

For the purposes of this programme, a ‘diaspora focused organisation’ is any organisation, group or network which is diaspora led or working with UK-based diaspora communities. 

Please view the documents below for further information about the grant, including eligibility.
