What’s funding this week…
International Center for Not-for-Profit Law’s Grants & Fellowships
The International Center for Not-for-Profit Law works to build an enabling legal environment for civil society, philanthropy, and public participation around the world. Occasionally, they offer grants to civil society organizations and others working to promote and protect civic freedoms, fellowships, and internships at ICNL.
Given the shifts in the ecosystem over the past several years and in response to community feedback, Digital Square recently launched a special call for applications, Notice G, which is dedicated to funding digital health technologies worldwide that qualify as global goods. The initiative aims to expand its outreach efforts to African and Asian markets and build a new generation of global goods while fostering increasingly more vital collaboration and networks with local and regional partners.
The initiative will be divided into three rounds to seek out prospective applicants, particularly those who submit applications for software, service, and content types of global goods.

The program is focused on Upstream & Circular Innovation where a venture-building model, coupled with research and youth community engagement converge, in order to find new and innovative solutions to address the general waste and pollution problem in Vietnam and ASEAN.
Climate Tracker’s Digital Content Creator Hub (Philippines)
The Philippines is facing more and more effects of climate change, from extreme rainfall, and natural disasters, to the rising sea level. But stories and ideas about these are not commonly found in our daily conversation.
That’s why Climate Tracker teamed up with Oxfam International to launch the Digital Content Creators Hub for storytellers across the Philippines! The hub will facilitate multimedia training for storytellers like you to produce more engaging content on the environment and climate change.

Each year, the International Compost Awareness Week Committee holds a poster contest to pick a new design for the annual poster. There is a new theme for ICAW, which is highlighted on the poster as well as the dates for ICAW, which will be May 7 – 13, 2023.
The 2023 International Compost Awareness Week (ICAW) theme is truly a collaborative and international effort. This year, we teamed up with the International Compost Alliance (ICA) to select: For Healthier Soil, Healthier Food…Compost! The theme was chosen based on a serious worldwide issue that every nation, unfortunately, experiences: hunger.
