Grants to fight homophobia – Apply until 22nd of December
Make a stand against homophobia!
Fare and the Football v Homophobia campaign have launched a grant scheme to support events and activities to challenge prejudice and exclusion of the LGBT+ community.
Fare and Football v Homophobia (FvH) will support organisations across Europe with small grants to challenge prejudice and exclusion against the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT+) community during the FvH month of action in February.
Grants of up to €500 are available to support activities to make football and its structures inclusive to all, and increasing the participation and representation of LGBT+ people in football.
Playing activities and tournaments can be supported in countries where the LGBT+ community still face barriers. Applicants should also consider hosting events that aim to deepen LGBT+ inclusion strategies, including the production of educational resources, and create debates around the topic. Louise Englefield, Director of FvH, said: “The partnership with Fare has helped us build an international campaign tackling anti-LGBT+ discrimination in football. “With support from the network we have built positive relationships across Europe, reached new communities, and supported initiatives for LGBT+ inclusion at all levels of the game.”
Piara Powar, Fare Executive Director, said: “Many LGBT+ people still face violence, discrimination and exclusion from mainstream society, February is an important period drive change in an unified way.”
The activities should take place during the Football v Homophobia month of action in February 2018.
The application process is still open until 18.00 CET 22 December 2017.
Applicants will be informed on 28 and 29 December.
