The Global Challenges Local Solutions (GCLS) grant competition is the first European competition that connects community foundations with the Sustainable Development Goals at the local level. The program is financed by the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation and implemented by the Academy for The Development of Philanthropy in Poland. 

Over the course of six editions of this grant competition, we have supported community foundations from 17 European countries and collected numerous good practices that can serve as inspiration for others. 

We invite Community Foundations from across Europe to participate in the 7th edition of the program.

In the 7th round of the grant competition we are opening a call for projects, which focus on activities aimed at communicating and promoting the Sustainable Development Goals within the community and local stakeholders – organizations, authorities, business, etc.

They can refer to all 17 SDGs, as the Agenda, or selected SDGs, related to the specificities and needs of a given community.

All the details regarding 7th  round of GCLS can be found in the 7th GRANT ROUND GUIDELINES.

Recruitment will close on October 11, 2023. We are accepting applications submitted via the form available on our website. Good luck!
