Mama Cash Grants

Deadline Date

Rolling Deadline; Apply after August 1 2009


Mama Cash supports "groundbreaking" and "innovative" projects from women's groups and women's organisations all over the world. Criteria for applications include:

  • "...projects that are aimed at groups of women who are relegated to a marginal position within a certain context, for example: girls, women of colour, migrant and refugee women, HIV/AIDS infected women, indigenous women, sex workers, lesbians, and women with a disability;
  • projects that are avant-garde where form and content are concerned; and
  • projects that contain a risky and "ground-breaking" element."


Applications from The Netherlands and Europe, as well as the Global South (Asia and the Middle East, Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean) and the former Soviet Union, can be submitted throughout the entire year. Applications must be completed in Dutch, English, French, or Spanish. Mama Cash will only assess applications that meet her criteria and are properly completed. There are two types of application forms: subsidies and travel grants.

Four times a year, Mama Cash assesses the submitted applications. (Please note: In 2009, applications will be accepted after August 1 due to prior strategic planning.) After each meeting, applicants will be informed about the council's decision. The entire application procedure may take three to six months.

The average grant ranges from 500 euros to 20,000 euros per year.

I FIND VERY USEFUL AS I FEEL THAT I AM ELIGIBLE FRO THIS GRANT

It is really useful page and I am happy that I fins it.
Keep on the good work

Women in Africa are highly marginalised. The lack the neccessary tools such as capacity building trainings to enable them have knowledge that can assist them to stand on their own. With your continued asssistance, i hope a barren tree of hope will one day bear nice and admirable fruits. Thank you so much for what ihave read though i have come come across any women group in Zambia that has been funded by your organization so that i could see how they are doing your grant and has it has changed their way of life. However, continue with your good and recommendable job. Lydia Banda, Chipata, Zambia.

We are women in different subsectors of Agriculture. We don't have a formal license but Chamber of commerce has started to be our umbrella to have a sort of association where in the long run to secure individual licenses. Anyway due to luck of technical training and exposure to dairy farms, hoticulture, food processing like peanut butter, cheese etc, poultry farming, flower planting and arrangements, fattening, beekeeping,etc we reamained behind and we need your assistance in these aspects. Would you please give us a hint on how to write the application so that we get fund if you find us to be eligible. Look forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely,

the page is complete, I have all the information I need and I really appreciate the work that Mama Cash is doing. I would like to encourage you to continue doing more and more especially for women group/organisation from Africa. there is alot of women's rights violation and women in these area rare know that they have rights. women need to know their rights for them to be able to solve problems they face.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing for information on your grants application guidelines. I work for Global Welfare Association (GLOWA) Cameroon. GLOWA is a children/youths and women focus NGO. We shall be happy to receive your grants application information.
