Eligibility Criteria and Funding Guidelines The most effective proposals are for one-time investments in infrastructure, supplies, or materials. Priority will not be given to proposals that fund ongoing NGO operations or salaries. The funds are meant to support projects that assist refugees or refugee returnees.

The fund is not intended for recurring programs and is not meant as an emergency fund. Applicants must be a registered organization (e.g. NGO, community-based organization, faith-based organization). Local NGOs will be given priority. International NGOs may submit a proposal but must have a close partnership with a local NGO. Application Package All proposals must be in English.
