These programs and any new initiatives should all fit within the six key priorities of the Foundation, viz: 

1.   Peace and conflict prevention/ resolution
2.   Disease prevention and treatment
3.   Water and sanitation
4.   Maternal and child health
5.   Basic education and literacy
6.   Economic and community development

For more information on a particular program, or to discuss the possibility of accessing a Foundation grant for a project of your committee, please contact the current year’s Foundation subcommittee Chairperson who will point you to the right person to help you.

Please be aware that the lead times for most grants are many months, and there is a lot of documentation to be arranged, including from the overseas partner(s) in the project.  So do start early.
