What we do
What does the Fund support?
Marang will offer up to 20 small grants of approximately €50,000 each to LGBTIQ organisations across the five focus countries. The funding will support:
- Safe spaces for LGBTIQ persons to access legal, social, and psychosocial support
- Advocacy and strategic litigation on decriminalisation, non-discrimination, and SRHR inclusion
- Movement building, capacity strengthening, and regional collaboration
- Storytelling and visibility, including the collection of first-hand “I” Stories and media work
Grants will also come with technical support in areas such as governance, fundraising, communications, and legal strategy.
Why Now?
In each of our countries, there are windows of opportunity. From constitutional reforms to growing networks of activists and allies, this is a critical moment to push for change. But LGBTIQ organisations remain underfunded, under-protected, and often under siege.
The Marang Fund is a response to that gap — and a commitment to resourcing the frontline leaders of our movements.
Stay tuned
This is just the beginning. A fuller launch of the Marang Fund — with stories, resources, and opportunities to connect — will come later in the year. For now, we invite you to help shape the future.
Be seen. Be supported. Be powerful.
