Opportunity Grant

Opportunity Grant is sponsored by AmplifyChange. Opportunity Grants aim to nurture and encourage innovative ideas and approaches on sexual and reproductive health rights (SRHR) advocacy in new contexts. They allow local, small civil society and grassroots organizations to drive the advocacy agenda and ensure change happens in SRHR.

While specific countries in Latin America are not listed in the eligibility, the focus on SRHR advocacy in new contexts and support for grassroots organizations makes it a potential fit.

They allow local, small civil society and grassroots organisations to drive the advocacy agenda and ensure change happens in SRHR. The duration of an Opportunity Grant can be 18 to 36 months. This funding round is open for applications up to GBP 75,000.

We encourage you to be realistic and apply for the amount that is best for your organisation and project. Grant amount up to £75,000 Grant duration (years) 1. 5-3 Watch our guidance webinar All applicants must meet the general eligibility criteria as well as the criteria detailed below.

Your organisation must be based in and implementing a project in one of the AmplifyChange eligible countries. You must be a small to medium sized organisation with an average annual expenditure over the past two years of less than GBP 200,000. For example, if your expenditure in 2021 was GBP 100,000, and in 2022 it was GBP 350,000, the average would be GBP 225,000 – this would mean you would not be eligible to apply.

You will be asked to submit evidence for your expenditure values. This could be an audited report or a profit and loss statement. Both registered and unregistered groups can apply for an Opportunity Grant.

If your organisation is unregistered and your application is successful, we will either work with you to register and open a bank account or work with you to identify an organisation that can help manage grant funds on your behalf (‘fiscal sponsor’). Which countries are eligible? Projects must be based in one of the following countries.

The Democratic Republic of the Congo Occupied Palestinian Territories Priority themes The purpose of this Opportunity Grant call is to fund small civil society organisations, support their advocacy work, and strengthen them so they can bring about positive change in one of the AmplifyChange priority themes or an intersection or combination of themes: Violence, Abortion, Inclusion, SRHR Education and Access.

Outcome areas Applications must respond to one or more of our results in our Theory of Change: Increased awareness of SRHR as human rights; Policy and law reforms that improve SRHR access; Improved access to quality SRH services; More inclusive social norms and reduced stigma and discrimination; and Governments ensuring funding for SRHR.

Other themes Within our priority themes, AmplifyChange supports cross-cutting themes that impact on SRHR and well-being and respond to challenges that advocates identify as their priorities for action. We are happy to receive applications from organisations who wish to integrate these issues into their proposals: Climate Justice, Pleasure and Mental health. AmplifyChange funds advocacy.

We are focused on achieving long-term, sustainable change, and we recognise that collective actions are the best way to achieve change. Understanding how you connect to the wider movement and demonstrating how you are working towards the same change is critical.

We are particularly interested to fund projects that: are submitted by small, grassroots organisations that find it challenging to access funding; aim to address the root causes and drivers of discriminatory social norms and inequitable power relations; pilot a new idea or innovative approach and to learn lessons about what is effective; implement a promising practice that have shown initial success; empower marginalised groups to advocate for their rights and access to services; work towards the development, improvement and effective implementation of laws and policies, including by-laws.
