We run a small grants scheme for communication based projects in low and middle income countries.
We offer grants of up to £200/$260 to therapists working on projects which benefit people with communication disabilities.
Examples of previous grants include supporting a training programme in a school in Ghana and supporting a SLT in Kenya to attend an online conference.
Eligibility:
- Applicants must be trained Speech and Language Therapists or final year Speech and Language Therapy students.
- Grantees must be able to demonstrate a measurable benefit for individuals with communication disabilities in low/middle income countries.
- Priority will be given to projects which achieve the above aim through
- Provision of training for those working with individuals who have communication disabilities e.g. attending conferences, online courses.
- Raising awareness of the impact of communication disability.
- E.g. software/internet for provision of online training
- Cost of organising an online training
- If you have an idea but do not know how to take it forward, we can use CTI networks to provide support.
Exclusions:
- Donations towards short term volunteering trips
- Donations towards campaigns with political party affiliations
Conditions of grant:
- If you receive a grant from us, we will ask you to report back on how it was spent. We may want to put details on our website.
Deadline for applications: ongoing. Please note that processing applications takes at least 4 weeks between application and receipt of funds. Bear this in mind when applying for funds which are needed within a certain timeframe e.g. training courses.
