About the Grant

APNOR is excited to announce the Refugee Leadership Alliance Fund, a grant created by refugees for refugee-led organizations and initiatives (RLOs/RLIs) in the Asia Pacific region. This fund provides financial support to RLOs working directly on the frontlines to address the needs of refugee communities. The goal is to empower and sustain community-driven responses to forced displacement, ensuring they remain impactful. The fund also offers an avenue for donors to support refugee-led efforts. By putting resources directly into the hands of refugee communities, the Refugee Leadership Alliance Fund strengthens their ability to respond effectively to local challenges.

Who can Apply?

Eligible applicants must be refugee-led organizations (RLOs/RLIs) in the Asia Pacific region. These organizations should be either founded and managed by individuals with forced displacement backgrounds or have such individuals in significant leadership roles. The organization’s mission and activities must focus on addressing the needs and priorities of refugee communities. Additionally, the organization must have a demonstrated presence in its community, with a track record of delivering programs or services. This ensures that the projects are driven by and for refugee communities, maintaining their relevance and impact in addressing local challenges.
