Who can apply

Community organisation, Practitioner

Eligibility

Applicants must be Indigenous organisations, collectives, networks or associations from the nine states of Brazil's Legal Amazon (Acre, Amapá, Amazonas, Maranhão, Mato Grosso, Pará, Rondônia, Roraima, Tocantins). Groups without formal registration (CNPJ) may apply in partnership with a registered Indigenous organisation in their region. A university cannot be the applicant and non-Indigenous organisations are not the intended grantee — a social work researcher participates only as an invited technical or accompaniment partner to an Indigenous grantee organisation.
