Foundation Ensemble’s Small Grants Fund provides funding in the areas of animal biodiversity, water and sanitation and sustainable development. However, nearly 50% of this fund is focused upon supporting projects related to biodiversity such as protecting species of animals that are under threat and/or about to become extinct.
Unlike Program Fund, the Small Grants Fund of the Foundation represents the 15% of its annual endowment and it has no geographical priorities (proposals can be submitted from around the world).
Small and medium-sized NGOs are especially encouraged to apply to this Fund, but they need to ensure that they do not fall in the category of what the Foundation does not fund. Please read carefully the previously funded projects under this Fund at the Foundation’s website before applying.
The maximum amount of money that will be invested per project by the Foundation is 30,000 €. The Foundation can provide up to 50% of the total budget.
There are two separate application forms under this Fund. Projects relating to animal biodiversity have to use a different form and for other projects, the Small Grants form has to be used.
The deadline to submit proposals under the Small Grants Fund is 11 March 2011.

TB REACH’s Wave 2 funding call for proposals
The TB REACH’s second wave of funding has this call for proposals to fund projects that promote early and increased case detection of tuberculosis (TB) cases and ensure their timely treatment, while maintaining high cure rates within National TB Programmes.
TB REACH encourages the development and application of innovative, ground-breaking and efficient approaches, interventions, and activities that result in increased TB case detection, reduced transmission and prevention of the emergence of drug-resistant forms of TB. As suggested by its name, TB REACH focuses on reaching vulnerable people, people from poverty areas and/or people who have limited or no access to TB services.
Civil society organizations, National TB Programmes, National AIDS Programmes, governmental and non-governmental organizations, affected communities and any STOP TB Partners are eligible to apply for grants subject to the given conditions and prerequisites. Basic eligibility includes the following:
The eligible proposals should target:
- countries with per capita Gross National Income (GNI) of US $2000 or less;
OR
- sub-national populations that can be justified as economically poor, i.e. poverty pockets, in those lower middle income countries that have a per capita GNI between $2000 and $3000.
The deadline for submitting proposals for Wave 2 is 28 February 2011. For more information, http://www.stoptb.org/global/awards/tbreach/whoapply.asp
