- Applications Open: 9 June 2025
- Deadline to Apply: 20 June 2025
GATE is offering financial assistance of up to USD $20,000 to strengthen organizational capacity to respond, prevent and mitigate anti-gender attacks. This funding is informed by the survey analysis conducted by GATE in 2023, which assessed the impact of anti-gender opposition on the work of trans and gender diverse activism, particularly their capacity and advocacy needs in the context of this opposition.
In particular, the funding will support applicants using toolkits developed by GATE to strengthen their capacities in: institutional development and sustainability; advocacy; safety and well-being; and documenting anti-gender opposition.
Support for Civil Society-Led Reporting to UN Human Rights Mechanisms
- Amount: Up to USD $4,500.00
- Applications Open: 16 June 2025

GATE is offering financial assistance of up to USD $4,500.00 to trans and gender diverse-led organizations, to cover the fees associated with writing reports for submission to UN mechanisms (SDGs, UPR, Treaty bodies, and Special procedures).
