Submit a grant application - Commonwealth Foundation

Grants call 2021-2022

As one of the three intergovernmental pillars of the Commonwealth, the Foundation operates within that critical space between government and the people. The Foundation works to bring the voice of civil society into all aspects of governance, supporting civil society engagement in shaping the policies and decisions that affect people’s lives.

The Foundation’s Strategic Plan 2021-2026 is strongly linked to the Commonwealth Charter and its values and aspirations, and it identifies three thematic areas of focus: 1) Health 2) Environment and Climate Change 3) Freedom of Expression. Civil society projects that aim to advance these themes will be supported through this open grants call.
