About IGLYO Grants

Launched in 2023 as a continuation of our mentorship project (2021-2022), our IGLYO Grants Programme aims to increase IGLYO’s impact by supporting our Members’ activities on the ground, as well as their work directly addressing the needs of local communities.

Every year, we provide €10k grants to three EU-based Members based on a call for applications. But financial assistance is not all, we also provide expertise and support the Members all along the implementation of their projects.

The Grants Programme focuses on supporting organisations which are new, volunteer-based, and do not have easy access to funding.

This year in 2024, our Member Transfeminiinit (Finland) is using their IGLYO Grant to work with two trans artists to produce and distribute across the country two posters against the anti-gender movement.
