Toward Parity’s national consultations have prioritized interventions that focus on mentorship, increasing access to information and breaking down informal networking, and decision-making. While projects are welcome in any category, priority will be given to initiatives that support one of these areas of intervention.
Projects are eligible for up to $5,000 in funding. The grants are intended to be either seed funding to incubate a new idea and gain support for gender equality in the community or to scale up an idea or initiative that has shown promise.
The application deadline is August 28, 2019 at 11 p.m. PT. The project must be implemented between mid-September 2019 and June 1, 2020.
