The Community of Democracies invites organizations to apply for funding through its CD-UNITED program, which provides financial support to projects that support and strengthen democracy.

This year’s theme is Democracy in Action: Expanding Civil Society Space. Most organizations that are working on topics associated with the basic values and human rights enshrined in the Warsaw Declaration are eligible for funding.

With a total budget of $272,000, CD-UNITED will provide co-financing to applicants who propose ways to expand the space for civil society. Applicants are responsible for securing co-funding from other donors before they submit an application.

The CD-UNITED initiative will begin accepting applications 22 February 2016. Proposals will be reviewed on a rolling basis through 31 December 2016, although it is highly recommended to apply as soon as possible due to the high volume of applications.

Get started: 

• Download the Call for Proposals. It has the all of the information you need to get started.
• In order to be considered, the application form, budget and indicator framework templates must be filled out.

Please note that applications must be completed in English.
