SAAF Does Not Fund

• Individuals
• Government departments and agencies
• University departments
• For-profit organizations
• UN agencies
• Branches, affiliates, or local offices of international organizations, even if registered in an eligible country

Eligibility Criteria

• Only organizations with an annual income (in 2021) of USD $1,500,000 or lower are eligible.

• If your organization is not registered, you will need a registered organization in an eligible country to act as your fiscal sponsor.
• Regional organizations, regional/national networks, and consortia are eligible.
