methods in their activities. In addition to regular grants,
KIOS has a Small Grants Scheme for smaller and newly
established human rights organizations that do not have a
lot of experience on being funded by international donors.
For this reason, Mama Cash’s grantmaking prioritizes
organizations, movements, and networks initiated and led
by those groups, such as:
lesbians, bisexual women and trans people
Does not fund development work, educational projects
(unless work is on human rights education), social
work, humanitarian aid, or socio-economic support for
marginalized groups. KIOS does not grant scholarships,
fellowships, or financial support for conference participation
or travel. Does not provide funding for: individuals,
international NGOs, for-profit groups, religious groups/
communities, political parties, governmental entities, or
exiled civil society organizations based in Nordic countries.
