Through this RFP, the Robert Carr Fund aims to further the aims and objectives of the Fund’s Strategic Plan 2020-2024 and to amplify the mission and vision of the Fund, while responding to the unique challenges and opportunities of this time.
The Robert Carr Fund recognizes that programming to strengthen social enablers, human rights and gender equality, as well as responses led by communities of ISPs, are complex, and require longer-term investments. Therefore, the Fund intends, in this funding cycle, to support continuity, so that well-performing existing partners can build on their achievements. At the same time, the Fund wishes to encourage applications from new, emerging networks, especially those which represent populations and regions which are current under-served in the fund portfolio.

Regional networks which have been in existence for more than two years can apply for a minimum of USD 100,000 and a maximum of USD 350,000 per year, for three years.

Eligibility Criteria
Through this RFP, the Robert Carr Fund invites global and regional civil society networks and consortia of networks led by, and/or devoted to serving inadequately served populations to apply for a grant to support their core funding and activity needs for a three-year period.
To be eligible for the 2022-2024 grant, applicants must:
Address the health, social inclusion and wellbeing of inadequately served populations (ISPs);
Be a civil society network1 and/or a consortium of civil society networks;
Operate regionally and/or globally;
Be from the civil society sector; and
Be led by ISPs.
Note: Networks/consortia which are not led by ISPs are also eligible. RCF recognizes that in some contexts some ISP groups experience greater challenges to ISP leadership e.g. prisoners, migrants and children. However, where ISP leadership exists, these networks will be prioritized. Furthermore, non-ISP led networks are also eligible but must demonstrate meaningful engagement of ISPs in the work of the organization.
