Call for proposals

Resourcing Resilience – Investing in Civil Society Leadership to End Violence against Women and Girls. 

The 2025 Call for Proposals of the UN Trust Fund to End Violence against Women and Girls (UN Trust Fund) is now OPEN

Civil society organizations on the frontlines of ending violence against women and girls are facing intensive pressure: shrinking civil space, rising opposition and widening funding gaps. At the same time, demand for life-saving services and prevention of violence against women and girls (VAWG) is greater than ever.

This Call for Proposals responds to the urgent need for long-term, flexible support to ensure feminist organizations can stay resilient and continue leading progress for all women and girls.

The UN Trust Fund is seeking proposals in English, French and Spanish from civil society initiatives to end violence against women and girls, offering four-year grants of up to US $800,000. 

The Call for Proposals document is available in six UN official languages: Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian and Spanish. 

The UN Trust Fund welcomes proposals that strengthen the resilience of civil society organizations and that address violence against structurally marginalized women and girls – contributing to one or more of these outcome areas:  

Improving access for women and girls to essential, specialist, safe, adequate and quality multisectoral services  Improving prevention of violence against women and girls through changes in behaviours, practices and attitudes.

Increasing effectiveness of legislation, policies, national action plans and accountability systems to prevent and end VAW/G. 

The Call is open from 18 September 2025 to 19 November 2025 (2:00 PM – New York Time – EST). All applications need to be submitted in the Grants Management sytem.

THE GEF SAMLL GRANTS PROGRAM 2025

 THE PROGRAM FUNDS GRANTS OF UP TO $75,000.

Since 1992, the Global Environment Facility Small Grants Program (GEF SGP) has embodied the very essence of sustainable development by "thinking globally and acting locally" and serving, in the GEF partnership, a unique role supporting objectives of Multilateral Environmental Agreements (MEAs), contributing to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and in achieving GEF’s mission and mandate to deliver Global Environmental Benefits (GEBs).  
The overriding objective of SGP 2.0 is to “Catalyze and mobilize civil society actors and local actions needed to address major drivers of environmental degradation and help deliver multiple benefits across the GEF’s mandated thematic dimensions, while promoting sustainable development and improved livelihoods."
To achieve this, GEF SGP provides financial and technical support to local civil society organizations (CSOs) and community-based organizations (CBOs), with a special focus on Indigenous Peoples, women, and youth, to develop and implement innovative local actions that address global environmental issues, while also improving livelihoods and reducing poverty.
SGP is currently implemented by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO), and Conservation International (CI).


GEF SGP finances community-led initiatives to address global environmental issues through a decentralized, country-level delivery mechanism, usually supported by a country management team and a multistakeholder governance structure.  SGP is designed to mobilize bottom-up actions by empowering local civil society and community-based organizations, including women, Indigenous Peoples, youth, and other marginalized and vulnerable populations.
The program funds grants of up to $75,000. SGP also provides a maximum of $150,000 for strategic projects. These larger projects allow for scaling up and replication of successful approaches, covering a large number of communities within critical landscapes or seascapes.
