The True Colours Trust has officially opened its latest call for applications for the Africa Small Grants programme, a move designed to advance palliative care development across the continent.
This initiative provides critical support to organizations working to improve healthcare outcomes through targeted local projects.
Funding and benefits
Small grants are awarded twice annually, typically following a schedule that aligns with the spring and autumn seasons.
Successful applicants will receive a formal grant approval letter and a detailed agreement outlining the specific terms and conditions of their funding.
Once the grant is disbursed, the program emphasizes transparency and impact through a structured reporting process.
Recipient organizations are required to provide quarterly progress updates and detailed financial reports to demonstrate how the funds are being utilized for their projects.
If an application is not successful, the Trust maintains an open-door policy for future growth.
Organizations are encouraged to request feedback on their submissions and are welcome to re-apply in the next funding round.
Application requirements and eligibility
Prospective applicants must begin by reviewing the official guidelines to ensure their project aligns with the grant scheme’s priority areas.
It is essential that all proposals adhere strictly to these guidelines to be considered for funding.
Submissions must be completed using the specific application form, budget templates, and project spreadsheets provided by the Trust.
A final checklist ensures that all necessary accompanying documents are attached before the proposal is emailed to the African Palliative Care Association (APCA).
For those needing additional assistance, the APCA offers significant support, including briefing sessions for potential applicants. Direct guidance is also available via telephone or email through the designated Small Grants Officer.
Deadline
The window for the current round of applications is strictly limited, with a final closing date set for May 26, 2026, at 23:59 EAT.
Due to the high volume of interest, applicants will typically receive a decision within eight weeks of this deadline.
