Karibu Foundation Grants for Global South

The Karibu Foundation in partnership with other organizations, networks ad movement seek applications for a grant program to support  grassroots processes that can resist dominance and oppression, and that can develop alternative societies that improve life on a systemic level.

Grant Aims

The grants are aimed at:

  • Providing human, professional and economic resources to enable movements to continue their struggle for justice.
  • Providing support to networks and initiatives that work for deeper analysis, stronger representation and improved capacity for advocacy.
  • Establishing meeting points and joint approaches between groups in the South (South-South), as well as with groups in the North (South-North), to form global alliances in the struggle for justice.

Funding Information

For first time grantees, Karibu rarely provides grants for more than USD 15 000,- to a project spanning over the course of one year. The final amount might be less than this amount.

Projects Funded by Karibu Foundation are:

  • Projects that Karibu supports are primarily related to the areas of information exchanges, mobilizing efforts, legislative and research efforts, bridge-building, dialogue, and capacity building.
  • Karibu prioritizes projects that are South-South in nature (one or more countries or territories in collaboration). We support projects that have a systemic focus and are strategically aimed at long-term social outcomes.

Projects not funded by Karibu Foundation include:

  • Karibu does not give support to the regular operation of development projects, such as health, education, infrastructure, agriculture and/or community capacity building.
  • The Foundation also does not support projects connected to an individual, such as scholarships for education.
  • As a general rule, the Foundation does not provide support to organizations or networks that are based in the Global North.
  • Also, in most cases the Foundation does not provide support to projects that are working only nationally or locally in scope, as Karibu prioritizes projects that are South-South in nature (one or more countries or territories in collaboration).
