The FAWCO Foundation Development Grants (DGs) financially assist projects that are passionately supported by FAWCO Member Clubs and FAUSA. The purpose of the program is to fund projects that can make an immediate impact and make a difference for the people they support.
The nine grants, which will be awarded in 2024, are in the fields of education, human rights, health, and environment. See https://www.fawcofoundation.org/programs/development-grants for more information on the individual grants and eligibility requirements.
AWCH was honored to support Nandanvan (Integrated Tribal Watershed Development Programme) in Maharashtra, India through six grants since 2018 and Hanseatic Help through one grant in 2021.
If you are passionate about a charity and would like to see them receive a FAWCO DG in 2024, please get in touch with Carol S. at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and Jordan W. at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. The deadline to submit a Development Grant is January 27th, 2024, but please get in touch before the deadline (preferably in December) so we can ensure all the paperwork is completed correctly! If your charity is not eligible for a 2024 grant, it is not too early to start thinking about the 2025 grants. In either case, we will do all we can to help.
