Matching Grants
Millions of people throughout the world lack access to items and services that many of us take for granted. Through matching grant projects, communities gain access to education, technology, health care, safe places for children to play and many other life-changing improvements. Matching grants involve identifying what a community needs most, and making it a reality.
About Matching Grants
Matching grants (previously called standard grants) are large-scale humanitarian projects that address unmet needs. The project must serve a large population. Grants awarded are between US$10,000 and US$100,000.
Matching grants typically provide funds for capital construction and equipment. Typical projects include mobile health units, centers for people who are disabled or blind, eye clinics, major medical equipment, nursing homes and schools in developing countries.
