Discretionary Grants

Discretionary Grant application form

The Foundation uses the Discretionary Grants to provide succour to Nigerians affected by humanitarian emergencies. The Grant is deployed to facilitate rapid response across Nigeria to people facing humanitarian emergencies or for any other intervention as determined by the Foundation’s Board of Trustees.

Goal

The overarching goal of the discretionary grants scheme is to ensure responsiveness by the Foundation to legitimate needs that arise between board meetings and before or after the annual call for concept notes.
