Grants may be made to organisations in any of the countries which BEARR covers:  Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Russia, Ukraine, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan.

The Trust may wish to support a number of initiatives through the scheme, so proposals for grants of up to £3000 (pounds sterling) are invited.  Awards will be made on a matching basis, and will not exceed 50% of the overall cost of a project.  Applicants must present costings in pounds sterling, but grants may be paid in Sterling, US Dollars or Euros as best suits the recipient (at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of transfer). Recipients will bear the cost of any conversion into local currency. Projects should normally be completed within six months of receipt of the funds.  The BEARR Trust reserves the right to commission independent evaluation of any project funded.

What are the aims of the Scheme?

The 2018 Small Grants Scheme aims to support and encourage NGOs to

• share experience and learning among NGOs with relevant aims
• disseminate good practice more widely
• facilitate cooperation with and/or coordination among NGOs and other organisations working with relevant groups
• improve awareness of, or engage public institutions in addressing the relevant issues
• propose other, imaginative ways of achieving the Scheme’s aims

Who can apply for the grants?

The scheme is open to applications from NGOs and other organisations active in the areas covered by the Small Grants Scheme 2018.

How to apply

Please write your application in accordance with the attached outline in English (with a Russian translation if desired) and send it by email to [email protected] before 1 February 2018. You should put in the subject line: SGS 2018 – bid.

The application should be no more than 2 pages.  It should include information about your organisation and any partner organisation(s), and the nature and objectives of your project, as detailed in the Application Outline.

Applications of more than 2 pages will not be considered. See Application Guidelines and Tips to avoid other widespread mistakes which could make your application not eligible for funding.

Criteria for selecting successful applications:

Initial selection of applications will be done according to whether or not the application contains all the information asked for, the extent to which it furthers the aims of The BEARR Trust, and the evidence that good use will be made of the resources available.

The BEARR Trust does not give grants for equipment.

To make sure your application fits all basic requirements please use the Checklist provided.

What happens after an application is received by The BEARR Trust?

The Trust will acknowledge applications as they are received. If you are submitting your application within the last week of the deadline, please be patient in awaiting this acknowledgement. It might take us up to a week to send it.

A shortlist will be drawn up for further detailed consideration. The Trust will contact applicants for any further information or clarification it needs. Trustees will review shortlisted proposals and make a final decision at their meeting in April.  The Trust will inform applicants whether their proposals have been successful shortly after that, and make the outcome public once all grants have been accepted.

All applicants will therefore receive by email:

• an acknowledgment of receipt of their application;
• notification of whether or not they have been awarded a grant.

Please feel free to ask for clarifications before you submit your application. You can write to [email protected] in English or Russian.
