GSGP Introduction
The GSGP has been established jointly by the Open Society Institute
and the CEU Program on Gender and Culture to support gender
initiatives in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe, and of the
Newly Independent States (NIS). The program is based on the belief
that small grants can often provide a vital and critical support for
new and innovative programs. We are open to a wide variety of
funding requests, but would like particularly to encourage groups
which are just getting started and need seed money to raise more
substantial funds elsewhere, or to establish basic infrastructures.
Priority will be given to projects that are innovative, will result in
increased opportunities for others (e.g. greater access to materials
and resources, or to participate in gender related activities) and
will have a lasting impact.
Eligibility
-- Institutes, centers, programs and departments actively involved in
teaching, research or policy activities that are of importance to
gender issues are welcome to apply for grants up to $2,000 to be
completed in up to 12 months. Only institutions which are located in
the region are eligible to participate in GSGP.
-- Requests may include, but are not limited to: support for
conferences, seminars, workshops, curriculum development,
acquisition of materials (e.g. books, journals, CD roms) and services
(e.g. translations of manuscripts when publishing agreements are
concluded, research/librarian services when documentation is
provided that such a person would make a substantial contribution
to increasing access to gender oriented resources).
-- The funding may also be used for equipment like photocopy
machines, fax machines, modems and computer upgrades.
-- First time applicants are welcome, but they should take sufficient
care and effort to document their requests in great detail.
-- Applications from individuals, requests for individual travel
support or for research will not be considered.
Applicants will not be eligible to receive more than one grant within a
given yearly cycle (see below -- Deadlines).
Application Procedures
There is no formal application form. However, each organisation
applying to the GSGP should submit the following documentation:
-- Two page proposal describing the objectives of the GSGP project and
expected outcomes.
-- Detailed budget and budget narrative that clearly explains individual
line items (no more than $2,000).
-- A one page summary of the past activities of the group, program
or department, and the names, full address and telephone/fax numbers
of two individuals who can evaluate and comment on the group's
work and the proposed activities and who can be contacted if the
GSGP board would like further information about the applicant
organisation.
-- Complete address and all practical contact information for the
applicant. APPLICATIONS THAT DO NOT PROVIDE CLEAR
ADDRESS, TELEPHONE, AND/OR FAX AND BANK DETAILS
WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED.
