EL*C Grants

EL*C Grants

The lesbian movement is one of the most under-resourced sectors within civil society. As a regional network, the EL*C is dedicated to supporting its member organizations and lesbian*-led, lesbian*-focused organizations in strengthening their operational capabilities.

To achieve this objective, in 2023 we have launched a regranting program for EL*C members within the EU through collaboration with the European Commission’s CERV programme. In 2024 we continued the regranting programme for EL*C members, and we are launching a regranting project that focuses on preventing and combating gender-based violence against lesbians* in EU member states and CERV-participating countries, currently Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Albania and Serbia.

At the same time, we are working on identifying regranting possibilities for our member organizations and lesbian*-led, lesbian*-focused organizations outside the EU. Please see more details below about currently open regranting projects as well as past projects.
