During the next strategic cycle 2007-2010, EJAF will not be accepting any grant applications for work in Malawi. Instead we will focus our principle funding for Malawi through the Funding Collaborative For Children (FCFC) and our small grants work through the Firelight Foundation:
Funding Collaborative For Children (FCFC)
In 2005 EJAF began to develop a partnership with 3 other funders (Comic Relief, Children’s Investment Fund Foundation and the Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fund) under the umbrella the Funding Collaborative For Children (FCFC). The FCFC aims to address collectively the complete needs of orphans and vulnerable children affected by HIV/AIDS in Malawi, from the earliest stages of their lives to the point at which they can thrive independently.
EJAF places great emphasis on collaboration and leverage in its grant making. The FCFC presents an innovative and unique opportunity to establish an holistic approach to both grantmaking and service delivery, whilst also achieving scale in terms of numbers of people reached. Over time, the FCFC aims to effect policy development in relation to orphans and vulnerable children, and achieve significant financial leverage to continue this work. For this reason, EJAF Trustees have elected to redirect the entire general fund allocation for Malawi to our partnership within the FCFC.
Small Grants Fund
EJAF operates a Small Grants Programme aimed at Community Based Organisations which, in Malawi, is administered via the Firelight Foundation. Please see their website for more details and how to apply: www.firelightfoundation.org
APPLYING FOR A GRANT
During 2007-2010 EJAF will not be accepting any direct applications for work in Malawi.
The FCFC has an office based in Malawi and approaches organisations it is interested in working with directly, it does not accept unsolicited applications.
