Embassy small grants
Our sources follow 3 embassy small-grant schemes for Fiji: Canada Fund for Local Initiatives (CFLI); Japan Grant Assistance for Grassroots Human Security Projects (GGP); New Zealand Embassy and High Commission Funds. None has a call open at the moment. Amounts and dates below come from the calls we have recorded; the embassy's own page always has the current rules.
Run by Canadian embassies and high commissions, CFLI funds small projects designed and carried out by local organisations. Each post publishes its own call, priorities and deadline on Global Affairs Canada's site, usually once a year.
Japanese embassies fund grassroots projects by non-profit organisations and local bodies under GGP (Kusanone). Each embassy publishes its own guidelines and application period.
New Zealand embassies and high commissions manage small funds for community projects; each post describes its fund and how to apply on the MFAT site.
Most schemes open once a year and give a few weeks to apply. Prepare your registration documents and a short project idea now, read embassy small grants explained, and create a free profile to have open calls screened for your organisation.
