The USAID Civil Society Engagement Program announces the open-door Innovation and Challenge Grants (ICGs) program to support citizen engagement and community-strengthening initiatives by Georgian civil society organizations (CSOs), civic movements, professional associations, and unregistered citizen groups. The ICGs will be awarded through a competitive application process.

Under this call, EWMI will award up to eight grants ranging from $10,000 to $30,000. The funding range for registered organizations is $10,000 – $30,000, and for the unregistered citizen groups – $1,000 – $10,000. Grants will be issued for a period of up to 12 months, for both schemes.

Maximum grant budget for registered CSOs is $ 30,000 and for non-registered civic groups – $10,000 USD. EWMI reserves the right to fund any or none of the applications submitted.

Grants will be issued for a period of up to 12 months.
