Round 6 of the International Deaf Children's Society Small Grants Programme

Submitted by crinadmin on

Round 6 of the International Deaf Children's Society Small Grants Programme (SGP) opens on 1 March 2007.

SGP offers grants of up to £10,000 for projects that offer measurable and sustainable improvements to the individual lives of deaf children and their families. This could be through:

  • empowering deaf children, young deaf people and their families by bringing them together to discuss common issues and advocate for the improvement of services; or
  • developing or improving services which empower deaf children, young deaf people and/or their families in the areas of early years support, education, emotional and social development, vocational training and youth programmes.

All projects must include activities which are either led by parents or young deaf people or which work towards the full participation of parents or young people.

If your organisation is registered in one of the SGP eligible countries and can demonstrate that it has the capacity to manage the grant funds then you could apply to Round 6 of SGP.

Applications are only accepted if they are in the SGP Concept Note Format and they must be submitted before 31 June 2007. The following documents can be downloaded in English, Spanish and Portuguese from: http://www.idcs.info/sgp/useful_documents/index.html
