How to apply

Applications are currently being accepted for the second round of the Challenge Facility. The current round has a budget of US$600,000. For the first round, individual grants ranged from US$5,000 to US$20,000.

The deadline for receipt of completed proposals, including all supporting documents, is 22 August at 23:59 GMT.

Please ensure that your application is accompanied by:

  1. a copy of the registration document; and
  2. a copy of any clearance issued by the competent national authority showing that you may receive grant funds from outside the country, if such a clearance is required by your Government. In case such a clearance is not sent to the Stop TB Partnership within two months of being notified of the NGO being selected to win the grant the award of the grant will be cancelled and no funds will be remitted.

N.B. Requirement 2 above applies only if the country in which the NGO is registered has a regulatory requirement to have such a clearance before receiving money from outside the country.

Award decision

The final decision about the selection of awardees will be made by an independent selection committee set up by the Stop TB Partnership Secretariat and its decisions are not subject to any appeal. By submission of a proposal, you understand and accept all the terms of the CFCS.
