Strategic Microgrants

An event at the Festival de les arts Comunitàries de Catalunya, organised by grant recipients Basket Beat

The Evens Foundation awards strategic small grants to complement the project and advocacy work taking place throughout the organisation. 

These targeted grants are an opportunity to support innovation on the ground, share knowledge, strengthen bonds with existing partners, and explore synergies with potential future collaborators.

We do not currently accept unsolicited applications for grants under this programme.

Unconventional journalistic initiatives – 2023/24

These microgrants are targeted at cross-border collaborations and engaging young audiences to spark their interest in political and social matters. The focus on journalism reflects the Foundation’s ongoing commitment to and belief in freedom of the media as a key tenet of a democratic society and a vital tool in holding power to account.

Recipients:
Are We Europe
Transitions
Correctiv

Humour as a force – 2023

These microgrants were created to support the exploration of humour as a force to defend against or counteract authoritarianism and totalitarianism. There are many examples of how humour has been used as a weapon to expose and criticise the abuses and absurdities of power and sometimes as a tool to unite and mobilise people to resist and counteract. How does this happen? What are the conditions? Can this be supported?
