FGM Fund Application Form 2011
Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) Fund 2011
The Home Office are launching the FGM Fund 2011. The fund is open to all frontline organisations working with communities affected by FGM to apply for grants of £2,000 to £5,000. You can apply individually or you can apply as a joint bid with another frontline organisation.
Long-term and systematic eradication of FGM in the UK will require practising communities to abandon the practice themselves. The aim of the fund is to support FGM civil society organisations to facilitate their engagement with communities in the UK. This is the central aim of the fund.
The application form is attached. Please answer all questions. Please ensure you read the guidance note before completing the application form to ensure all the relevant information is detailed.
Once the application form is completed, please return to Amina Khan either via email on or by post to FGM Fund, Violent and Youth Crime Prevention Team, 4th Floor Fry Building, 2 Marsham Street , SW1P 4DF by 5pm on 28th October 2011
Further details about the fund can be found in the guidance notes.
