Lebanon Locally Led Pooled Fund - Call for Expressions of Interest for Small Grants

The Lebanon Locally Led Pooled Fund is a joint initiative by Jeyetna, Jibal, Mada Association, Threads of Peace, SIDC, LOST, CAFOD, and Christian Aid. It aims to directly channel flexible funding to grassroots groups and small civil society organizations across Lebanon—recognizing their critical role in responding to rapidly evolving needs on the ground.

In the context of the ongoing war and widespread displacement, local actors are often the first and most effective responders. This fund seeks to strengthen and resource these efforts, enabling community-led initiatives to deliver timely, relevant, and inclusive support to affected populations—regardless of gender, nationality, religion, or social background.

We are currently launching an Expression of Interest (EoI) to support initiatives addressing urgent needs resulting from displacement and war. Funding is made possible through the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC), CAFOD, and Christian Aid.
