FAQ

The Rights Now Foundation has limited capacity to answer questions promptly. Please find answers to frequent questions below.

What kind of organizations and projects do you support?

Please find information about organizations and projects supported by the Rights Now foundation on the website.

Note that all projects supported are implemented by non-profit organizations and that education, training and awareness raising normally forms a central component of any project. We may also allocate grants for, for example, meals, education materials, fees, venues and transport – as these may promote knowledge sharing, participation and learning.

Can a project or activity supported by the Rights Now foundation be implemented anywhere in the world?

Yes. We support projects worldwide. All projects must however fulfil the foundation’s criteria for receiving grant funding.

We have a project that isn’t active yet – can we apply for support? 
Yes of course!

How much funding can we expect from Rights Now? What is a normal grant size?

Grants from the Rights Now Foundation vary in size – normally somewhere between 25 000 – 300 000 Swedish crowns, depending on project size and content (corresponding to approximately 3 000 – 35 000 USD per project).

When are decisions made about applications?

The Rights Now foundation’s review process is normally completed in January each year. All applicant organizations will receive an answer, whether grants have been allocated or not.

When will we be able to receive the grant, in case the application is approved?

Can the same organization send in multiple applications?
