AmplifyChange is excited to announce the launch of our Opportunity Grant Program, aimed at supporting and empowering small civil society organizations to champion innovative ideas and approaches in advocating for sexual and reproductive health rights (SRHR) in diverse settings.
Our goal with this grant is to provide funding to grassroots organizations, enabling them to amplify their advocacy efforts and build capacity to drive meaningful impact within AmplifyChange’s priority themes. These themes include but are not limited to gender equality, youth empowerment, access to comprehensive sexuality education, and ending gender-based violence.

By investing in these organizations and their unique approaches, we hope to foster a more inclusive and effective SRHR advocacy landscape that truly reflects the diverse needs and experiences of communities around the world. Together, we can work towards a future where everyone has the knowledge, resources, and support to make informed decisions about their sexual and reproductive health:
- Abortion: Safe Abortion Choices
- Violence: Eliminating Gender-based Violence
- Youth: Better Sexual Health for Young People
- Stigma: Challenging Stigma and Discrimination
- Access: Access to SRHR services for Vulnerable and Marginalised Groups
Eligibility Criteria
All applicants must meet the general eligibility criteria as well as the criteria detailed below:
- Your organisation must be based in and implementing a project in one of the AmplifyChange eligible countries.
- You must be a small to medium sized organisation with an average annual expenditure over the past two years of less than GBP 200,000. For example, if your expenditure in 2021 was GBP 100,000, and in 2022 it was GBP 350,000, the average would be GBP 225,000 – this would mean you would not be eligible to apply.
