Small Grants Program 2024 

Program for organizations led by refugees, stateless people, or people with a humanitarian residence – 2024

The UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) invites organizations led by refugees, asylum seekers, people with a humanitarian residence and stateless people, living in Brazil to participate in the 2024 Call for Expression of Interest and present their proposal for the Small Grants established by UNHCR in the country.

The program aims to support refugee communities to develop artistic, sporting and/or cultural activities. Activities must focus on an approach to strengthening communities and their integration in Brazil.

The maximum financial support that each selected organizations can receive is up to R$ 2,500.00 reais (USD 500) per organization. This initiative will accept applications from all over Brazil.

The program is designed for non-profit organizations led by refugees (formalized or not), which are recognized in their communities for their social contributions.
