Small grants for CSOs to reduce the unlawful use of force by police or other state officials

06 Mar 2025

Omega is pleased to launch our call for proposals for projects to reduce the unlawful use of force by police or state officials and advance human rights-based police reform.

We are offering small grants of between EUR 5,000 and EUR 10,000 to CSOs to support civil society organisations to develop and implement research, campaign, advocacy, capacity-building, and awareness raising activities that contribute to this aim.

This call is open to a wide range of projects that support the development or strengthening of national, regional and international  measures to advance human rights-based police reform and reduce the unlawful and excessive use of force by state officials. Applicants are encouraged to include survivor voices in both the design and delivery of their project.

This funding is offered under the United Against Torture consortium project, supported by the European Union.

Please note that this call is open to civil society organisations operating outside of both the Western Europe and Others Group (WEOG) and European Union. Organisations operating in WEOG countries or EU Member States are not eligible for funding on this occasion.
