Hello and welcome! Thank you for your interest in the Community of Practice’s open call for applications. This call is expected to strengthen the role of refugee-led and local initiatives in Lebanon and to support communities to better address their needs, speak in their own voice, and organize for broader change. For more information on the background to this call, participating donor institutions, and eligibility criteria, please visit the Terms of Reference.

The application form has 3 sections and asks for information about you, your organization, and the proposal you are seeking funding for. Please note you will be requested to submit a budget accompanying your proposal as part of this application.

All questions marked with an asterisk (*) require an answer. Please note that our application portal does not allow you to save your work as you go, so we recommend you write responses in a separate document and upload them here when you are ready to submit.

We know that filling out lengthy forms to receive funding can be overwhelming. Please do not feel under any pressure. Simply fill out the form to the best of your ability and if you do not have an answer, input "No info" or a short explanation as to why you cannot respond as desired. The Community of Practice welcome any questions or feedback you may have on our work and our application process - please just get in touch with communityofpractice@choose.love.
