How to ApplyPast Grantees

The 2011 Innovative Small Grants have been awarded for the health and well being of children to organizations in India, Uganda, Rwanda, and Sierra Leone. This year we asked for proposals related to the prevention or treatment of enteric diseases.

Five were selected from about 80 proposals submitted and reviewed by our grant committee of health experts. The reviewers look for projects which employ innovative methods to improve and save children's lives, and then award them up to $5,000 which, especially in developing countries, is a small fortune. We awarded one Humanitarian Grant--a repeat from 2009 ($3,000).
 


Keep in touch, for you will be reading the reports of these projects in future newsletters and seeing them on the world projects map.

2011 Humanitarian Small Grants Awards

Beginning in 2006, we decided to grant some funds for purely humanitarian purposes, that is, not innovative, but meeting the needs of hunger, illiteracy, and disease, especially in the time of natural disasters.

  1. Friends Orphanage School, Uganda, supplying safe water by installing a permanent water tank.
