Community Resource Exchange (CRE) Collaboration Grants
Direct grant for African community-led human rights initiatives

This is a direct grant opportunity where your NGO can submit a proposal. The focus is on human rights protection in the context of international investments and development projects.

Deadline: May 7, 2026

Grant Amount: Up to USD $5,000 (maximum 8-month project)

Location: Lesotho is explicitly eligible

Sector: Gender & Human Rights

Eligibility: Community-based groups and local organizations in Africa

How to Apply:

Option 1: Complete the Collaboration Grant Request Form online on the Coalition for Human Rights in Development website

Option 2: Email completed form and budget template to [email protected] with subject line "CRE Call for proposals – Africa"

Note: While the call has a specific focus on critical minerals, community-driven human rights protection projects—including those addressing gender rights in affected communities—are eligible. Projects do not need to demonstrate a confirmed link to investors; a potential connection is sufficient .
