Overview

The Resilience Fund invites applications for its 2026 funding round to support community-based organisations that address interconnected challenges affecting women and communities. The programme focuses on areas where climate risks, economic insecurity, health, and safety intersect, specifically targeting women- and non-binary-led organisations in Bangladesh, Cambodia, India, and Vietnam. The selection procedure follows a two-phase process.

Who can apply

This funding opportunity is intended for women- and non-binary-led community-based organisations operating within Bangladesh, Cambodia, India, and Vietnam. Eligible entities must work within the fund's priority areas, which include community-led climate adaptation, women's health and safety, economic resilience, and global value chains. Applicants must review the official criteria and guidance to verify that their leadership structure, activities, and operational locations meet the required terms.

What you get

Selected organisations receive flexible, unrestricted funding ranging from US$15,000 to US$50,000 distributed over a duration of two years. In addition to financial support, grantees gain opportunities to connect with other funded organisations, share knowledge, and engage in learning activities through the Resilience Fund’s Learning Hub.
