PPSEAWA Grants

  • Conference Attendance Fund - The Conference Attendance Fund or CAF was established at the International Conference in Kuala Lumpur in 2016, and awarded for the first time for the 2019 Conference in Taiwan. The purpose of the CAF is to award financial support for member attendance at a PPSEAWA International Conference.
  • Peace Development Fund - The Peace Development Grant Fund was established at the International Conference in Taiwan in 2019 to build the capacity for PPSEAWA NMOs to build community-based solutions by and for women and girls in their countries. We recognize that self-sustaining and economically viable communities are essential for a peaceful and equitable world, one that nurtures women’s self-determination, economic empowerment, and cultural dignity. Note that awards in 2020-2021 were related to COVID-19 Recovery Projects. Since 2021 the awards go to PPSEAWA NMOs for local financial empowerment and social development projects.
  • Young Women’s Fund - Founded in the summer of 2007 through seed donations from dedicated members of PPSEAWA Hawaii and the Special Fund balance contribution by PPSEAWA USA. Its purpose is to enable the Association to give financial support to inspiring young women who are willing to carry PPSEAWA’s mission and work into the future, through projects that benefit women and girls living within the area covered by PPSEAWA International. Young woman (18-34 years) who are PPSEAWA members in good standing may apply for funding with a brief recommendation from the applicant’s PPSEAWA NMO President. If selected, the award will be paid to the PPSEAWA Treasurer in the host country of the YWF recipient, for her discretionary use in her proposed project.
