For our latest round of funding grants will start between 1 July 2022 (for current SAAF grantee partners) and 1 October 2022 (for organisations new to SAAF).
At the moment, for organisations who are new to SAAF, we are able to offer funding for up to two years (October 2022 to September 2024). For current SAAF grantee partners the implementation period will be July 2022 – June 2026.
It is our ambition to be able to offer renewal funding beyond these time frames, where our own access to funding allows.
Your proposal can include staff costs, activity costs, and anything else you may need to reach your stated goals.
After Board approval, shortlisted organisations are invited to submit a full funding proposal.
