Apply for funds
Apply for emergency funds
Do you provide emergency aid to people on the move in Lithuania, Poland, Serbia or Bosnia? We could help you with a one-off or monthly donation! We have a few funding criteria for the groups/coalitions/organisations we support. These are related to practical requirements as well as the way you work. But first of all, let us introduce ourselves.
As MiGreat, we believe that people need to be able to move. Our mission is to establish migration as a human right. We challenge the State’s exclusion of non-nationals and advocate for opportunities for migration, especially from the global South towards the EU. We campaign against the brutal EU border regime, which is ineffective, harmful and deadly. As long as these policies do not change radically, we provide emergency aid to people on the move.
Practical requirements
As our main goal is system change, we want to report on the situation where you work and hold those responsible accountable. If you collect information on pushbacks, evictions or other kinds of state violence against people on the move, please share it with us. We also have to explain to our donors where their resources (money, material donations) went. At the same time, we do not want to add too much stress to you, as we know you can spend your time much better than on detailed accounting reports and you need to feel free to decide where the money is most needed.
We try to keep the accounting as simple and straightforward as possible. Please be aware that information you send us can be shared publicly, unless you explicitly ask us not to. Fill out the application form here and send it to info@migreat.org! We will try to get back to you within a month.
